Started back in 2003, Lunarnoon has been an ever evolving portfolio of design and photography work by Andrew Murray.

The projects here are a culmination of part-time work on the side, during adventures traveling the world for both work and fun, and as work for my actual salaried jobs. However, no matter where or when it was done, a certain sense of personality is always incorporated.

In other words, I could spend another four or five paragraphs discussing where I draw my inspiration and how I try and master each and every skill, it would not be true. As you can see in my bio below, while I have never had any formal training in either design or photography, I have tried my best over the decades to always branch out and never fear trying something new.

And if all else fails, I hope my gallery can speak for itself, check it out!

Hailing from the fine state of Colorado, Andrew is a weather geek, web designer, photographer, traveler and avid outdoorsy person.

He recieved a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology with an emphasis in Computer Science and Economics. While both incomplete, Andrew also began a Master in Environmental Transportation Design at the University of the West of England in Bristol, UK and a Masters of Public Administration at the University of Colorado at Denver.

After graduation, Andrew spent time working at NOAA’s National Weather Service as the Geospatial and Mobile Program Manager for Western Region Headquarters. There he was part of the team that developed and built Interactive NWS, a mobile alerting system for emergency managers. Due to this work, he was the recipient of the NOAA Administrator’s Award, a prestigious honor within the Department of Commerce.

After leaving NOAA, Andrew continued his work as a web developer in the atmospheric sciences field at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. After working about a year, he decided to follow his true passions for mountain meteorology and left to work full time with Joel Gratz on two projects, Chance of Weather and OpenSnow.

When not programming or starting at clouds, Andrew skis, bikes, hikes, and likes to travel to far-away lands and sleep on couches (with the owner’s permission, of course).
