Hi! I’m Andre Villanueva.

My career is really a convergence of my favorite things: writing, art, and computers/​technology.

I’m currently VP of Corporate Communications at a Fortune 500 company in Birmingham, Alabama.

My role has me copy editing, creating visuals for web and print, and overseeing the evolution of my division’s digital properties.

And I couldn’t be happier.

Words from clients and colleagues

Sarah Bankes

Editor, Imagine Publishing

Andre was an absolute pleasure to work with.

He was a regular contributor and highly regarded writer and digital artist for Photoshop Creative magazine for more than six years.

While I was editor of the magazine from 2014-2017, I commissioned Andre with writing assignments in every issue, from in-depth features to step-by-step tutorial guides and Q&As.

He was professional, reliable and conscientious, and always delivered his work on time. Andre was able to adapt his writing style depending on the brief, as well as the audience, and communicated well throughout the entire writing process, providing useful suggestions and taking on feedback. We would often repeat topics over the years, but Andre would always find ways to be original and keep ideas fresh and current.

I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Alan Marchman

Former web/graphic design program director, Virginia College

Andre is a highly skilled and extremely talented designer and instructor.
The sheer amount of preparation and attention to fine detail in his work is astounding, and it shows in his deep passion for his craft.

Erlingur Einarrson

Editor, Future Publishing

His work was always of the highest standard, which made him one of our preferred contributors.

He followed the brief in each instance without fault, showed a lot of initiative in terms of providing original ideas and pushing himself to improve constantly, and always submitted his tasks well on time. He was an open communicator, and showed a clear understanding of the publishing process, taking on feedback with grace and positivity and applying it to his work.

I am happy to recommend him as a collaborator and talented publishing professional.

I offer my highest recommendation of Andre based on my professional experience with his services.

Initially, Andre assisted in training to use software. Whenever I have been ready to do something new or experienced any difficulty, he has been very quick to respond.

In this last year, I have gained new appreciation for Andre’s professionalism. Thanks in large part to Andre, developing our website content has been a fun adventure rather than the daunting challenge technical tasks often are to novices.
