Hello, my name is Andre Perras and I am a Designer, Web Developer and Marketer.  I started computer design ever since I first received a one as a child in 1994. I discovered the emerging world of graphic art through the Ansi and Ascii art scene as I did not have access to the internet at this time and was only able to network with others by way of Bulletin Board Systems, or BBes.   I was just so amazed at how people could create such unique artwork using only text- based characters that I was inspired to learn to create this type of artwork for myself.

My computer art interest expanded when I was able to access the internet, and was exposed to a greater wealth of artwork and information.  Programs such as Corel Draw, Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and 3D Studio Max allowed me to experiment artistically with interface design and skinning applications.

Upon receiving my degree in Marketing from Ryerson University, I decided to combine my marketing knowledge with my artistic skills and passion, to create a business in which I could continue to be creative, continually evolve by learning new  techniques and concepts, and simply put, create a job for myself doing something I love.

I am continually increasing my knowledge base, by learning new programs and applications. I look at every new project as an opportunity to expand my knowledge base and welcome challenges as an opportunity to find creative solutions.
