HI, I AM ANDREA...

I’m a social entrepreneur, and as an entrepreneur I’ve gradually also become a designer, storyteller, and marketer. Alongside my own entrepreneurial endeavours, I put these skills to use as a freelance consultant for projects that align with my interests and values. Most of my work come through word of mouth, so chances are you already know how I work as you arrive on my website.

I take an agile and holistic approach, which works well for early-stage start-ups, experimental projects, and budget-constrained impact organisations. This allows a different approach than agencies, but fills an need for organisations that are looking to get their initial strategy formation (business model/market validation), their first branding package, a site or app to validate their concept, or foundational marketing materials. I am most passionate at the critical stage where ideas become projects, passionate about giving them a lease at life. Practically, I can deliver a wide range of services – as reflected in my portfolio. I bring a broad range of skills—branding, print, video, illustration, and animation—to every project. I’m highly oriented around visual identity and user analysis/user experience, but I also dabble in coding, animation, and 3D modelling/rendering. 

My background in both entrepreneurial and charitable ventures gives me a strong sense of how design integrates into broader organizational strategies. I’m not just a designer—I’m a problem solver, strategist, and storyteller. This well-rounded perspective ensures my designs are not only visually appealing but deeply aligned with your startup’s goals.
