My approach to design is human-centered, and values beauty as much as accessibility.

Anthony Faria is a leader in branding, advertising, and human-centered design. He likes building multidisciplinary teams that foster communities to which their members can actively contribute; if the individual flourishes, so does the unit. He believes functional design is as accessible as it is beautiful, and has applied this to over 15 years of holistic solutions in UX, mobile, web and branding.

While directing at AOL, Viggle, TimeWarner and a host of ad agencies and tech startups, Anthony perfected challenging his teams so they could thrive. At Viggle, he led an integrated creative team on product, content and strategy to grow the company’s ad platform to $24.1M in yearly revenue. At AOL, he defined the creative vision for more than 80 brands, directed a team of art directors, designers, writers, producers, and web developers, helping to bring in over $175M in ad revenue. At Handshake, a B2B eCommerce platform, Anthony set the vision for product UX across their software suite, studying their user’s needs to build instinctive, omnichannel experiences.

Anthony is a Visiting Lecturer at the Pratt Institute and he teaches at RookieUp, a design mentorship platform.

"Anthony is a detail-oriented, meticulous and ambitious design-leader. Whether he's personally cleaning up the look-and-feel of a simple web form or leading a team of designers researching, designing and building a new product from scratch, Anthony excels at building award-winning experiences that solve real problems and delight users. Simply put, Anthony is one of the best design leaders in the industry and certainly the best I've had the pleasure of working with."
