Andrea Ueda

8 Year Graphic Designer at Family Industries LLC. Knowledge in Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. Former after school Art instructor at U.S. Arts & Design, Irvine and After School All-Stars, South Gate, CA. Created and implemented classes in Art, year round for ages 5-13. Oversaw special events for 4 years at U.S. Arts Irvine. We created after program movie nights, Halloween parties and other Holiday activities to grow participation and enrollment at all levels. Full immersion was key in everything I did. I would create decorations, games, activities and flyers/posters that would attract participation. I was lucky to have fellow teachers and friends that would work with me to create events that the kids would talk about all year long.

In my own time, I'm growing my Crembrukaiju "brand". Reaching out to small businesses and meeting other Creators to learn from them is important to me. I attend, Creep It Real OC, Comic-Con International (SD), Toontown Market and other Creator venues to meet and converse with others and see what is popular in the market.

Currently working on my roll out of maneki neko (lucky cat) inspired, ice cream-cats, fan art and Halloween decorations. Using Illustrator and other programs I am able to produce my art as prints, stickers, enamel pins, and other promotional items.

My last pop up was with a friend, Alison Doran at her booth, A.T. Comcs in the Small Press section of Comic Con 2024.
