The Artist

My name is Andrew Cilley and I am a twenty four year old web & graphic designer who is constantly pushing myself to the next level. I am in love with all art forms from music to design and painting to sculpture. My mind is constantly running and filled with ideas to bring to life. I always try to keep myself on my toes and most importantly, I strive to stay self-motivated. It's hard to reinvent the wheel but I constantly try my best to think completley outside of the box rather than just being a little different.

I have a passion, desire and love for what I do and that is what allows me to grow, learn and build my skills each and every day. By keeping myself organized and getting things done quickly, it leaves me more time to learn more and more. Since I was about twelve I've been involved with art in one for or another. I started "designing" things for myself and quickly used the ability to help friends and different activities I was involved with.

From the age of fifteen until just recently I was always in a band, either playing bass or being a vocalist. I never wanted to limit myself to just one art form and by being in these bands I met so many people that would become both clients and good friends. I've designed logos, manipulated images and worked on graphics in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator. I have the experience of preparing images and graphics for print such as business cards, postcard, t-shirts, magazine ads and more.

I've designed websites with the assistance and knowledge of Dreamweaver and the coding and languages of CSS, HTML and PHP. I also have knowledge of the photo editing software Lightroom and knowledge of all Microsoft Office programs. Although my strong point may be graphic design I am very experienced with web design, coding and other similar subjects. I have worked with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Dreamweaver for years now and have a strong understanding of both programs with growth always in mind. I am an individual who is willing to learn and push myself to gain more knowledge on any subject that is put in front of me.
