Andrea Greengard – Developer

About Me

Each day I strive to be the person my dog thinks I am.

I’m a full stack web developer, web designer, and graphic/multimedia designer. I’m also the self-appointed computer repair guy / IT help desk / official ‘look it up online’ person / entire technical support team for my friends (and neighbors). No one likes to be pigeon-holed, and I like to work on projects of all and any kinds. I’ve always disliked that awful phrase that comes after ‘Jack of all trades’, so let’s just say that I’m extremely well-rounded. You’d better believe if I don’t already know how to do [insert task here], I will shortly.

I’ve lived in Atlanta my whole life and Decatur for the last 15 or so years and doubt I’ll ever leave the area, even though nothing ties me here besides the fact that I think it’s home. I’m an animal lover and am thankful to have had (and known) a lot of wonderful pets in my life over the years. Truth be told, I often prefer the company of animals over most people. In fact, if you have a pet, I will most likely remember their name before yours. I also like to pretend I can moonlight as an artist and as a result, I think I make a lot of pretty cool things.

Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right

What people have to say...

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Web Design

Digital design is like painting, except the paint never dries.

If you don't know
where you're going...

...then any road
will take you there.

Business Cards

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Graphic Design

Thinking about design is hard, but not thinking about it can be disastrous.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Video Production

The play button is the most compelling call to action on the web.

 Virtual Tour of Cathedral Bookstore

This is a virtual tour and video walkthrough of Cathedral Bookstore, a local book store & gift shop. This fully narrated promotional video was filmed in February of 2021 and introduces each section of the store as you seemingly walk through it. The original video was over 20 minutes long, had employee introductions, gave an online discount code, explained and showed examples of how to place an order on the website, and finally ended with this 6 minute store tour. The video features background music and a custom narration provided by voiceover talent.

Narrated by JJ Hall; Audio from www.Orangefreesounds.com

 ‘How to Use Our Website’ Instructional Help Video

This is another portion of a twenty minute promotional video I made for Cathedral Bookstore. It features an animated view of the website and is paired with an audio narrative/explanation of what is being shown on the screen. The entire video is just shy of 4 minutes and explains website-related tasks and elements that customers sometimes had questions about. For instance you will hear instructions about things along with animations of the website showing how to access it, how to locate an item, how to place an order, how to subscribe to their newsletter, etc.
I have made meditation/relaxation videos for one of my jobs. Here is one I did in my off-time, because I seem to really like arranging beautiful (mostly aerial/drone) videos with music. And also I think I might be kinda good at it =)
