Andrea Pippins is a designer and educator with a penchant for cool and personality as warm as her Brazilian roots.

Andrea’s first glimpse into the design world began when she encountered a television profile about a magazine art director, she then saw Halle Berry’s role as an art director in the movie Boomerang and was hooked.

Andrea began harnessing her artistic talent into a BFA in graphic design and later earned her MFA at Temple University-Tyler School of Art. Andrea’s love for design grew as she learned more about what it means to be a designer and what true design is all about.

You can find Andrea designing in Baltimore, teaching in a classroom at Stevenson University, and blogging or dancing in her living room with the samba music way up.
