Andrew Rado: About

I believe smart ideas that speak a clear message take graphic design from style—to communication with style. That's why I do my research and make sure every project begins with good ideas.

Professionally

I've been working as a graphic designer and web developer since 2001. I've spent time as an independent designer and I've also worked as an employee for several firms in the Bay Area. Larger scale clients include 24 Hour Fitness, The San Francisco Opera, Genentech and Visa, and I'm equally as enthusiastic about the work I've done with small businesses and non-profit organizations.

Personally

I've always had a desire to be visually creative, spending countless hours drawing and creating worlds as a child, learning to paint in high school, and eventually falling in love with graphic design in college.

Inspiration: I find observing my daily surroundings sparks many creative thoughts. I also love to read, make art, take photos and try new experiences that broaden my perspective.

I've recently been getting back to my roots as an artist and created an online playground to share. See how Andy likes to play.
