Inspired By:

I am inspired to create impactful solutions which integrate people, place, brand and function. Project development is guided and informed by research, a desire for innovation and an emphasis on storytelling.

Keys to a Successful Project:

A willingness to set aside preconceived ideas. A structured and methodical approach to problem solving and design. An overarching vision for the experience and aesthetic manifestation of the space being crafted.

Interests Outside of Work:

What I most enjoy outside of work is unstructured time, be it spent with friends, travelling, gardening or simply enjoying a quiet moment.

“I have nothing but praise for Andrew. He is a mature, dedicated and supremely talented designer and we are lucky to have him on our team. He has raised the bar for our studio in terms of design excellence. His designs are well thought through and sophisticated regardless of the limitations placed upon the project (fee, schedule, etc.). Andrew has demonstrated great mentorship abilities as well.

From a client interaction perspective, Andrew inspires confidence from an early stage. He is articulate in his presentations and his thorough knowledge of the design concepts and technical aspects of the design make him a credible and reliable designer.

Andrew has garnered a great deal of respect from his peers in the Interiors Studio as well as leadership across the firm. He has integrated seamlessly with the architecture teams on repositioning assignments and there is a high level of respect for his opinion and design voice on the team.”
