How I stand out

Andrea is a true professional with a talent for crafting compelling visual identities that resonate with audiences. Her expertise and collaborative nature make her an invaluable asset to any design team."

Rebecca V, Head of Design at Houzz
"I've had the pleasure of teaming up with Andrea Novo at both Houzz and NEXT Insurance, and she's the real deal. At Houzz, Andrea's design game was next level. She had this incredible knack for turning ideas into visuals that just popped. At NEXT Insurance, she was the master of juggling multiple projects, consistently delivering top-notch work on time. She is reliable, and she is responsive. But what sets Andrea apart is her mentorship. She's the kind of person who not only excels herself but lifts others up with her. She's got this way of guiding people that makes them better at what they do. If you're looking for someone who's not just a great designer but also an awesome team player and mentor, Andrea's your go-to."
