I’m Andee—yes, that’s really on my birth certificate! (LOL!) I’m a graphic designer who loves digital design, typography, production, and vector-based illustrations. I have experience in large format printing, sublimation, and much more. Nothing beats the feeling of delivering a final product, whether digital or tangible. I love to make someone evoke an emotion with a final product.
My friends would say I’m (respectfully) sarcastic and a silly goose, but also diligent, fiercely loyal, and realistic. I know when it is ok to have fun and when I need to put my nose to the grindstone. I started my career in retail and customer service (in-person and on the phone), later moving into office management. These experiences shaped my ability to provide outstanding customer service, teaching me patience, empathy, and privacy, as well as how to communicate effectively with all personalities.
I stumbled into design when a friend introduced my husband and me to sublimation and engraving. One curiosity spiral later, we took the leap in 2013 and invested in professional printing equipment (a Roland Eco solvent printer and a dye sublimation printer). I started at YouTube University, learning CorelDRAW. Our first big project was an elementary school fundraiser, scanning kids’ drawings into sublimated products. From there, it expanded into sign-making, large-format decals, banners, and print design.
Wanting to level up, I utilized my husband’s GI Bill to attend Madison College for Graphic Design, where I honed my skills in Adobe, concepting, logo design, typography, photo editing, social media, and motion design. I love creating clean, engaging visuals that connect with people through branding, marketing materials, production pieces, and digital content.
Running a home-based business taught me invaluable hands-on skills in design and production. Still, it also made me realize that my real passion lies in creative work itself, not in all the mundane complexities of running a business. I’m excited to bring my skills to a company where I can focus on what I do best: designing, creating, and collaborating.
I excel in a constantly evolving environment where I can flex my creative muscles, take ownership of my goals, and be proactive. Still, I love collaborating with a team to achieve company goals. I am always eager to learn new techniques. I’m excited about opportunities in production design, branding, and marketing—anywhere I can bring ideas to life and make an impact!
