Portfolio
I’m an empathetic, strategic design leader with a proven track record of empowering teams to craft experiences that customers love while driving business results—the combination needed to make an enduring impact at an enterprise scale.
Leading in big organizations
From 2015 to 2019 I helped lead a 45-person design team focused on Fintech. I led client engagements for our top clients, including Charles Schwab, The New York Times, Santander, Development Bank of Singapore, National Australian Bank, and NASDAQ.
Building teams at startups
In 2019 I joined Tonic to build out the design team. I scaled from a team of one to seven director reports. Our team quoted Brené Brown regularly to build a team atmosphere of creativity, trust, and growth.
Leading by example
I am a skilled T-shaped designer focusing on getting to the why of a project. I love to learn and know I can learn from everyone within an organization. I lead by learning and asking for feedback. I love to dig into Figma and figure out the nitty gritty while also making strategic design decisions.
Results Driven
While most of my work is behind NDAs and cannot be shown, I can show the impact I have. With the launch of a fully redesigned website for a Colorado-based e-commerce site, revenue increased 20%, time on site increased 38%, and user engagement increased 19%.

Principal UX Designer - Tonic
Andrew was a huge asset to our contract software team, from customer discovery to refining of existing UI/UX. He's a stellar designer as well as a leader, and just a great person to get to know! I'd recommend him to anyone seeking a thoughtful, highly-experienced designer who isn't afraid to think outside the box to deliver a top-of-the-line product.

Senior Product Manager - Pivot Energy
I've known Andrew since 2008, when he was a design intern, and had the pleasure of working with him through 2019, as he grew into one of Markit Digital's top design leads and problem solvers. Andrew combines deep knowledge of design and UX with an open mind and an easygoing manner. He remains one of my favorite collaborators and helped our team to build best of breed tools for both online brokers and global banks. Andrew is a hard worker who shows up with the client's best interest in mind. He is also a leader who became one of our company's go-to people when client requirements needed a thoughtful and innovative approach.
