Hi, my name is Andy and I'm a fun guy.
I was born in the international metropolis of Shanghai and raised in the sleepy armpit of Silicon Valley, South San Jose. Like my upbringing, I would like to believe I'm a little bit of all worlds. At school, I double dip in both the humanities and the sciences with degrees in visual arts (film) and computer science. While I don't believe a college accredation represents the sum total of a person's character, I do think these two degrees embody my interest in visual storytelling and a desire to create.
I am driven by two principles: making things look good and building relationships. As I'm typing this, I am aware that this is beginning to sound like Modelo/Nike ad. However, unlike Phil Knight, I have limited financial incentive to say this. For me, these principles help inform my direction and interests: I love working on team projects, studying the aesthetics of my favorite commercials, tv shows, and movies, and dream to own a fried chicken and coffee shop in retirement.
See ya soon!
