For seventeen years I’ve been fortunate to call myself a professional designer.
I began my career as a graphic design intern at Jager Di Paola Kemp in Burlington, Vermont, while still attending the University of Delaware’s Visual Communication program (‘94). This was pre-internet time, so I was trained in brand development, print production, and visual communication theory.
From Burlington, Vermont I headed south to Washington, D.C. and it was there I was introduced to interactive design when asked to work as an interface designer on Time Life’s “Virtual Body” CD-ROM for children. Once I had gotten word that our work had been selected for inclusion in the first annual Visual Communication Interactive Annual, I knew that pixels and code were going to be a serious part of my world.
I joined an interactive publishing company, a stone’s throw from AOL, in Reston, Virginia back when the internet was just heating up and got a taste for using sound design principles to quickly solve problems for online customers. Next I spent time working with various agencies, design firms, and technical groups in Virginia, Washington D.C. and Delaware.
A year after getting married, my wife and I decided to shift our focus to starting a family. We said goodbye to Delaware and moved to what we feel is one of the greatest communities to raise a family in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We haven’t regretted that decision since moving there in 2002.
During my career in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, I’ve had the opportunity to worked with many talented agencies, designers and developers in Central Pennsylvania.
Andy Mathers Design was established in 2010 as an interactive design studio. Providing website and mobile interface design, user experience planning and internet marketing services to businesses and agencies.
