Hello thereSo, firstly, my name's Andy Doran, my company name is Menagerie and I basically make things on the screen look good and sometimes move around.As a design student I was a Royal Society of Arts Finalist and a member of the Manchester Creative Circle. I had my first taste of the industry at BDH Advertising, worked round a few other design studios and agencies, ran the graphic design department at Telewest and then jumped headfirst into the world of freelance design.Along the way I've built up a direct client list, learnt more things, learnt what not to do, welcomed and embraced the internet, designed, maintained and hosted websites, directed and animated music videos for broadcast, worked as freelancer for Code Computerlove, Love Creative, Iris Nation, The Chase, True North, Creative Lynx, Epigram and others, met lots of good people, composed and recorded soundtracks for animation and video, learnt how to code in actionscript and xhtml, produced motion graphics sequences and 3d scenarios, perfected my tea making abilities...[pause for breath...]
