About Me

Hello, I'm Gerald Andrews and welcome to my media page where I showcase my web design and graphic design projects I've enjoyed building and creating over the years. My projects are my own hard coded websites and graphic design projects I've built from scratch. My journey in learning web development and digital graphic design started around 12 years ago when I was taking college courses in a two-year IT program at Southwest Virginia Community College in western Virginia. Since graduating with an associates degree in 2015, I have learned a alot about the fundamentals, concepts, and tools of web development and digital graphic design. I am committed to continuing my journey of educating myself further so I can continue to create projects I love building and eventually working professionally in the field with companies or clients to create engaging digital content that drives exceptional results.
