A bit about myself.

Hi!

I'm Andrea. I've been working in the world of apparel and footwear design for 10 years as a designer and developer. I'm a big fan of thoughtful functional design, and appreciate the little details. It gives me great joy seeing my drawings come to fruition through product!

When I'm not working you'll find me outside with my pup hiking, looking for treasure at a vintage market, or climbing some walls.

My Strengths

As a hard working, conscientious and well organized individual, I am confident in my creative and analytical working abilities. I am passionate about storytelling through colour and product design, and I strive to grow as a designer in every job undertaken. I love working with my hands! I have a keen eye for detail, and amable to function under highstress and within short timeframes. I’m easygoing, love to laugh, and I thrive in an interpersonal environment.
