Andrew Gibson

Solo maker. Ex-shareware guy (£250k in the early 2000s). Now building EZC — an emoji-based composition tool that started as a way to help an autistic 6-year-old engage with learning. It's now a creative playground for kids, educators, and designers.

Trying to find 1,000 true fans at $1/month. No VC, no fluff, just practical tools that people actually enjoy using.

Previously: English teacher, ALN coordinator, narrator, curator, and digital tinkerer. Now living in Taiwan, moving to Thailand soon. Still figuring things out.
