About Me

Andrea Sanny and her border collie Raven after a hike.

My name is Andrea Sanny. I was raised in Southern California, growing up near the ocean and beaches as a child. Most of my days though were spent indoors, sketching and imagining wondrous stories. As I grew older, I earned a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering, eventually working at Sandia National Laboratories, but I never forgot the creative passion I had for art.

Now, I currently work there as UX Researcher, combining my artistic interests with my technical background to delve into difficult problems and find solutions. I also chose to further my education and recently graduated from Bentley University with an MS in Human Factors in Information Design.

On my days off, I spend a lot of time with my border collie, Raven. I’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old, and we have gone on many adventures together whether it be hiking, camping, agility training, or a marathon. She is a great inspiration for a lot of my artwork, and also my companion through life.
