About Me

My name is Andres Garcia and I am a designer turned developer with ten years of experience in digital media. I founded Andres the Giant LLC after years of working as a freelance web designer and developer. I started my own business in order to help companies of all sizes launch their ideas and products to the world. And that’s exactly what I do. I believe that everyone deserves an attractive and user friendly website that is easy to maintain.

I work particularly well with both designers and developers, bridging the gap between very different fields. I advocate the use of WordPress, as well as responsive design.

Feel free to take a look at my work samples below and make sure to say hello if you’d like to work together!

Work Samples
Andrews Honey

At Silvermine Apiary, LLC, home of Andrew’s Honey, our family have been keeping bees since the 1800’s. Not exclusively, and not enough to always eke out a living in of itself, but there have always at least been bees buzzing in the background for over 130 years. The bees were there on the dairy farm in northern Canada where Andrew’s great-grandmother cooked snails and skinned rabbits, or between shifts at the firehouse for Andrew’s father, Norm, in Norwalk, Connecticut. Or now, where Andrew maintains beehives not only in Connecticut and New York states, but also in four of the five boroughs of New York City, including atop landmark buildings in Manhattan. Like any active beehives, Silvermine Apiary is a family affair today, with Andrew’s brother Mike and nephew Patrick helping with the hives, Norm building equipment, working bees and selling at the markets, and Andrew’s mother Polly taking care of the books. Other family members help from time to time when extra hands are needed. All to bring you a quality product from a local family of beekeepers.

Santa Lucia Falls

Sleep, wake, walk and swim amongst the waterfalls and ponds. Hear their changing song of harmony. Walk mindfully amongst the strangely wonderful shapes and sounds of primary forest trails carved by long ago inhabitants. Arrive at what seems to be the top of your world, with breath taking scenes. Stand inside rainbows looking down to the Great Pacific while being refreshed by the mist of mountain top waterfalls, with each droplet hanging in the air as to resemble quartz crystals, a refreshing sauna for your soul. Be grounded, energize and experience how you are a part of this most truly wonderful world.

Beutiful Magazine

Beutiful is a digital magazine that focuses on empowering women and teaching them to love and accept their bodies (and themselves) by showing them that diversity and individuality is beautiful. While the main focus is on body image, the magazine frequently covers topics related to feminism, sexism, racism LGBT issues, mental illness and health. The mission for Beutiful is to create healthy media that builds women up instead of tearing them down, and to address important cultural issues in a way that promotes awareness and equality.

Octavo Systems

Octavo Systems gets its name from the Latin word meaning “one-eighth”.  The word octavo was, and still is, used to describe a book where 16 pages of a book were created from a single sheet of paper.  The resulting sheets were 1/8th the size of the original paper.  This process allowed books to become smaller, cheaper, and more accessible to the population.  It is with those principles in mind that Octavo Systems was founded.
