My name is Andy Joseph, I am a Graphic Designer and Animator not only as my occupation, but it’s also something I am very enthusiastic about doing. There is something rewarding in loving what you do and having fun with it. I draw my inspiration from everywhere, and I do mean everywhere. Cloud formations, cartoons, my kids, the action figures on my wall, the food I’m eating at that moment, my dog Roscoe, the squiggly lines that float in your eyeball, all gave me inspiration at one point or another. Once I got an entire animation series idea as I was pulling a cup out of my dishwasher, and I was talking to myself in a goofy voice. I’m in the process of writing this series and making the concept art at the moment of writing this (5/25/2025).
I had kids at a young age and had to put college on hold for the time being. I worked maintenance and hazardous material handling until the opportunity arose for me to go to College. I completed my AA in graphic design at MiraCosta College where I was taught by some very talented and knowledgeable professors who guided my through the Adobe Creative Cloud, Maya Autodesk, Atom, Brackets and many other powerful pieces of software.
I am very passionate about Design and Animation and I make the most of having fun when I do it. I believe that when you can allow yourself to have fun when creating you accomplish your best work.
