About Me
“Con sede en Alabama, el diseñador gráfico Andre Villanueva empezó haciendo dibujos a lápiz, los que pronto trasladó a gráficos de 8 bits interpolados en una Apple II, experimentando desde entonces con técnicas mixtas que juegan en el glorioso campo creativo de Adobe por más de una década. Interesado en la docencia, Villanueva ha hecho clases a estudiantes de comunicación visual y ha trabajado en agencias de publicidad, siendo actualmente un exitoso diseñador corporativo que a partir de su experiencia crea soluciones visuales alegres, vibrantes y únicas.”

Testimonials
“His work was always of the highest standard, which made him one of our preferred contributors. He followed the brief in each instance without fault, showed a lot of initiative in terms of providing original ideas and pushing himself to improve constantly, and always submitted his tasks well on time. He was an open communicator, and showed a clear understanding of the publishing process, taking on feedback with grace and positivity and applying it to his work. I am happy to recommend him as a collaborator and talented publishing professional.”
—Erlingur Einarrson, editor, Future Publishing
“I offer my highest recommendation of Andre based on my professional experience with his services. Initially, Andre assisted in training to use software. Whenever I have been ready to do something new or experienced any difficulty, he has been very quick to respond. In this last year, I have gained new appreciation for Andre’s professionalism. Thanks in large part to Andre, developing our website content has been a fun adventure rather than the daunting challenge technical tasks often are to novices.”
—Melissa N. Hipp, Mayor’s secretary, the City of Vestavia Hills, Alabama
“Andre was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was a regular contributor and highly regarded writer and digital artist for Photoshop Creative magazine for more than six years. While I was editor of the magazine from 2014-2017, I commissioned Andre with writing assignments in every issue, from in-depth features to step-by-step tutorial guides and Q&As. He was professional, reliable and conscientious, and always delivered his work on time. Andre was able to adapt his writing style depending on the brief, as well as the audience, and communicated well throughout the entire writing process, providing useful suggestions and taking on feedback. We would often repeat topics over the years, but Andre would always find ways to be original and keep ideas fresh and current. I would not hesitate to recommend him.”
—Sarah Bankes, editor, Imagine Publishing
“He has organized projects requiring the coordination of several moving parts, and they have always been successful. If Andre takes responsibility for a certain task within the organization, I am confident that he will get it done. In addition to these skills, Andre also provides the company with creative ideas to achieve our goals. Vision, commitment and organization are what I think are some of Andre’s greatest strengths.”
—Stuart Smith, cybersecurity and technology advisor, Thrive Networks
“Andre is a highly skilled and extremely talented designer and instructor. The sheer amount of preparation and attention to fine detail in his work is astounding, and it shows in his deep passion for his craft.”
