Andy is the founder of Piccalilli and design agency, Set Studio. He mostly specialises in CSS — whether that is writing a CSS course for Google, co-authoring a book on CSS layout, or creating a methodology to help people write better CSS.

He obsesses about designing and building for everyone with a sharp focus on progressive enhancement and being the browser’s mentor, not its micromanager.
