I liked things better when I didn't understand them.

Whats all this now?

Hi. I'm Andy, a (self-proclaimed) designer, artist, photographer, freelancer, and musician from West Chester, Pennsylvania; and you have stumbled upon my modest corner of the internet. iPleadtheFirst is my portfolio and blog, started in August 2008 to chronicle my scattered pursuits.

Unabridged Biography

My childhood in Pennsylvania was spent climing trees, riding bikes, and building an excessive rubber-band gun arsenal. A bunch of stuff I don't remember happened, then I graduated from West Chester East High School in 2007. I am fortunate enough to currently be studying Graphic Design at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland.

In 2005 I co-founded Bonsai Studios, a web and graphic design studio, with my good friends and partners in crime, Josh Hepworth and Dan Martens, so we didn't have to get real jobs. Recently, the very attractive Bryan Connor has joined our happy little family. If you want to hire me for design work, please do so through Bonsai Studios.
