About Anja Hoffmann

Design Director at Shadowboxer

I'm an experience designer with 15+ years of experience in digital design and a love for all things visual design, experience and brand. During my career (in agency & startup/venture land) so far, I have been lucky to work with clients and businesses from small start up to big brands across Europe and Australia across a large range of industries. I currently work at Shadowboxer, a venture studio, supporting startups, scale ups and founders with big ideas.

Outside of work I love spending time with my Dachshund, Whiskey, exploring new food spots and am currently learning Japanese.

Expertise

Sessions with Anja Hoffmann

• General mentorship session (45 min): I'll be guided by your needs and questions and generally open to tackle a wide range of topics across design, leadership and creativity. While this is a one off booking, let's define long term goals together if relevant. While I understand it is tough to break into the market coming from a bootcamp or similar, this is an area I feel I cannot offer a lot of value in and others will be a better fit.

“Anja was incredibly knowledgeable and provided clear, actionable advice on transitioning into a new environment as a senior product designer. She emphasised the importance of understanding team dynamics, connecting with key stakeholders early, and embracing the opportunity to bring my authentic self into a fresh setting.”

“My session with Anja was fantastic! She pushed through my technical issues without issue and proceeded to both listen and help with empathy, understanding and experience. Anja's industry knowledge and insights gave me some important perspective on how to approach the next steps in my career, with some very relevant anecdotes on the side.”
