Hi!
I'm Andy
'If it works, pull it apart to see why' . . .
This was the mindset of my 5 year old self whose growing collection of left over parts led me to realise that 'the intended purpose of any piece is only a suggestion'.
Innovating creative solutions from the tools and resources at hand has always been central to who I am. It's this creativity that led me into product design, CAD, branding and marketing, evolving my skills in vector illustration, graphic design and digital design more broadly, before focusing on website design, UI/UX design, coding, online business development, growth and optimisation.
It's a broad skillset that often sees me described as 'a hack of all trades'. But, I believe I've mastered two: 'The ability to see outside the square' and 'the tenactity to get square pegs through round holes'.
Experience:
Establishing "On.co.nz" (Web-design Agency/Studio) in 2005 pushed me beyond my visual design roots into the world of coding, databases and web architecture. Becoming fluent in HTML, CSS & Javascript was a game changer, unlocking the front-end frameworks, libraries and languages that are the building blocks of the web, providing a world of capability to innovate extrodinary things. It was a natural fit.
In the 20 years since, I've built hundreds of websites, online businesses, ecommerce stores, member portals and custom web apps for clients across a wide range of industries. All the while remaining grounded in the business world, understanding each client's brand dynamics and wider objectives to help them reach their online goals.
