Hi, I’m Andrea, a UX designer and developer who loves helping small businesses shine online. Before starting Chilko Design, I worked in VFX for film, then graphic design, UX and web design, before finally deciding to open my own creative studio. This has given me the flexibility to make designs that have a real impact, for people like you!

With my experience in a variety of creative fields, I can help your business with more than just a website: Branding, custom art styles, small animations and personalized photography can also help you stand from the crowd.

Outside of design, I’m a climber, skier and outdoor enthusiast, with a secondary love for cooking and baking. I occasionally combine these two hobbies, making pies and dehydrated dinners to share with friends on various mountaintops. I love drawing inspiration for my designs from beautiful lighting and serene landscapes, and often find that creative vision hits me hardest when I’m outside adventuring!

Projects where I can bring the most value to your vision:

UX & Product Design

Research-led interfaces that feel intuitive and drive results.

Brand & Visual Identity

Distinctive systems that communicate your voice clearly.

Web Development

Fast, accessible sites built to showcase your work.
