Who’s behind the brand?
Hi, I’m Andrea
web designer & developer, multimedia artist, and enthusiastic collaborator specializing in beautiful methods of communication. I am passionate about using digital media to communicate and tell a story.
Creative Bio
I built my first website as a college freshman (a fan club page for a friend) and immediately fell in love with digital creation. I complemented my future design career through a series of roles such as special ed assistant teacher (I drove the bus sometimes!), natural beauty retail & food service manager, and nonprofit administrator, all of which taught me a great deal of empathy and patience. During these fascinating sidequests I was constantly learning new digital skills through playful exploration, such as directing and editing videos with friends and creating motion-based art galleries.
Moving to NYC for graduate school in Media Studies at The New School launched my freelancing career in videography, editing, and web design. Now based in Los Angeles, I’ve been a full-time web designer and developer for seven years! Outside of work, my husband Raj and I tend a vibrant garden with our two ridiculous rescue dogs and enjoy hiking and camping. I’m part of wonderfully supportive and expansive creative communities and create art, whether it’s physical or digital, every day. I’m currently obsessed with ceramics and plein air painting. I feel super lucky and proud of the creative life I’ve built.
Experience
With 10+ years of experience as a web designer and developer, I build beautiful, fast, and responsive sites across platforms like Shopify, WordPress, Squarespace, and Webflow.
I love the whole creative journey: collaborating closely with clients to understand UI/UX needs, shaping wireframes, solving tricky problems, and launching dream websites.
Beyond site building, I offer end-to-end digital expertise: custom graphic design, brand strategy, video/audio editing, SEO, security, and experience with tools like Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud.
