What is Version 31? Its not just a website or a business. It’s an idea encompassing creativity and the methods from which they are derived from. At least we would like to think so. Version 31 wasn't always known as such. It was born as my personal website, version 1.0. It underwent many reiterations until I just decided to stop naming the versions and settle on a URL address. Version 31 was born. Although it may appear at times that this website is run by a middle grade child, I assure you I am much older and wiser... at times. About me?

My name is Andrew Williams and I am an artist and philosopher ... sometimes stuntman, but until I heal, an artist. My profession is graphic design. I have worked in the field of graphic design for almost a decade, a few years short but I’m pretty young by standard so I’m shooting for the decade. I was born in Lithuania and my family immigrated to the United States in the early 90's. I attended the University of Colorado majoring in Multimedia and Fine Arts. I realize now that the multimedia program was for graphic designers with A.D.D. Unlike the business school where someone strives to be an accountant for a law firm, we had no end goal. We played and prodded anything that moved or shined. It was great. Point being we are multitalented at everything. I can drink coffee while I edit video on the freeway at 60 mph... But that’s illegal now...

I began freelancing in college doing odd end jobs. Consulting, website design, promotional materials, t-shirts... you name it. I got my break right after college with 7News. They hired me on as a graphic designer for the morning shows creating on air content. No, I’m not the guy that makes the ticker! That’s a computer; don’t blame me for it moving too fast! Anyways... I have had some nice opportunities designing materials for just about everything; large screens, studios, trucks, folders, business cards.... my stuff is seen by some 4 million people daily. It’s pretty neat to think about it. But I try not to let it bother me.

So Version 31 is simply my ideas and work which I would like to share with anyone willing to look at it.
