Andy as a kid, at his first computer

Portfolio — Est. 2007

Hi. I’m Andy Manea.

I started my career in 1992, at the age of 3, as a clandestine painter of my home walls and mom’s furniture. With a passion for painting and nature, my journey in the creative world began. When the digital age arrived, that passion turned into digital graphics, and in 2007 I finally found the force that held all my creative leaps together: the web. My first job as a graphic designer landed in June 2007, on Rent A Coder, today’s Upwork. I’ve been a Top Rated freelancer there ever since.

Capabilities

What I do.

For more than 20 years, I’ve designed digital experiences for top-tier clients, turning complex ideas into clear, effective products. Today, I combine that experience with AI-assisted coding to bring my designs to life with pixel-perfect precision. Over the past year, I’ve also focused on researching and developing AI skills, agents, and workflows that improve design and functionality across e-commerce, SaaS platforms, and mobile applications.

Prompt: design me a bestseller

2025 · AI automation

AI automation.

I build automation around real business needs. My prompts and custom skills for ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude carry two decades of design and production experience, and my custom software tools take over the repetitive work: manufacturing processes, orders, stock, reporting and everything in between. If something in a business happens the same way twice, I can probably automate it.
