This is the blog and design portfolio of Andrew Welch. Here you will find my web design and development projects as well as graphical artwork.
My background in design is mostly self-taught although I did quite well in art and design at secondary education level, receiving an A* GCSE Design, A* GCSE Art, and A in A-Level Art.
I went on to do a BSc Hons Degree in Environment, Economics and Ecology from the University of York because I decided that it was an important issue to learn about. I decided to continue my interests in art and design in my free time. At university I set up the Digital Music and Art Society. The society held events to showcase member’s work.
After university, I set up TrueFocus, a creative alias, designed and printed some t-shirts and artwork. After a five month stint as a mountain bike guide on the island of Korcula in Croatia, I worked for computer network computer Abtec Network Systems as a web and graphic designer.
In June 2007 I went travelling – http://www.ride-earth.org.uk and cycled from England to India and Nepal. I spent some time living in the Republic of Georgia, in the capital Tbilisi. I am currently living in Leicestershire and I’m taking on projects.
My skillset covers design and development, so please contact me with the details of the project you have in mind and I look forward (hopefully) to working with you! Contact Me.
