Hello! I’m Andrea Parra, a creative webmaster. I’m based in London, but originally from Northern California, and I’ve also resided in Portugal and Australia, all of which inform my design sense and work experience. I completed my university degree at Mills College in Oakland, and went on to work in retail and media for the first part of my career, before moving to online in 2006. I was a very early adopter to the web, first utilising it to publicise music events around the San Francisco Bay Area.
Over time, I’ve worked on various aspects of websites, from interface design and development, to creating content, to project management. I work now primarily as a webmaster and designer, not only creating all the digital content for various websites, but overseeing the day-to-day maintenance and project management of new feature builds. My extensive digital career gives me a hands-on understanding of the content and coding needed to create projects that are engaging, functional, easy to navigate, and designed true to purpose.
More recently, I’ve been improving my fine art skills in music, photography and illustration. I’m also a very keen musician and surfer, and have put together various websites and print items reflecting my love of music and the sea.
