My name is Andrea, named after the 1950s Italian ocean liner the SS Andrea Doria, that sank to the bottom of the ocean heading to New York. I was born on a Sunday morning in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on a Midsummers Eve. 

I've been designing fashion since I was around 5 years old. I taught myself how to make garments at a young age and went on to study fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. 

A Plus is my love letter.
