Andrew Williams
Andrew Williams

“Andrew Kamani Anthony Williams was born in Long Island, New York. He developed his love for the arts while growing up in Queens, New York. Received art awards through Elementary School.. Created his first magazine cover and dabbled in photography in the 5th grade for the school newslettter.  Was accepted to go to The Julliard School as a child but did not end up attending due to finances.

The only way young Andrew could express himself was through writing poetry and drawing different cartoon characters. He even used to create sketches of a clothing line he always envisioned having when he was older.

In middle school his mother wanted a better life for her small family.While attending a Parent Teachers Conference she noticed all the gangs and violence and the character of people he was around and packed their bags and moved  to Lakeland Florida to be with Andrew’s Grand Aunt and Grandmother.

That same passion followed him to high school where he would really try to pursue becoming a Music Artist singing songs all around Florida and putting projects together for his friends and family to vibe too. MySpace was a place to display his freestyle videos and also started a new passion: coding and design. Creating themes for your MySpace was intricate part of his life that lead him to Graphic Design.

After high school he attended Keiser University for Graphic Design where he learned how to harness his passion and become a professional designer. So what was a hobby became a passion and then a career. Andrew learned how to create a brand and market himself to the masses through design.”
