about me

Hello! Thanks for visisting my portfolio site. A little bit about me.. my name is Andrea Lovell and I'm from Kingsport, TN. I was born in 1982 and ever since I can remember, I've always liked trying anything creative. I started off drawing around the age of 3 and just kept practicing since. When I was 10, I would create illustrations and small animations using MarioPaint for Super Nintendo; Ever since then, I was hooked.

In high school, I would make money off several of my teachers by drawing portraits of their kids. After graduating in 2000, I already knew that I would be majoring in digital media and going the interactive/multimedia route. I went to East Tennesse State University and while there, I worked for a local newspaper and designed for a sign company along with a few small freelance opportunities on the side here and there. Since graduating college, I've been working steadily as a interactive designer mostly designing and developing a wide variety of websites, logos, and flash animation.

I enjoy all aspects of design, but I feel my strengths lie in graphic and interactive design and helping give clients identities. Whatever the project, whether it's illustration, interactive media, flash-based animation, or corporate identities, I look forward to the challege of finding ways to execute that particular task. My other strengths would be my willingness to work with others and the fact that I'm always open to suggestions and other views. I enjoy working with others in collaborative projects because most of the time, it can only produce better work. I feel good communication skills from both sides are key to producing solid and well thought-out work.

Thanks for taking the opportunity to look at my portfolio; Hope you enjoy. For any requests or questions, feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
Andrea Lovell
