Biography

Andy’s design proficiency is wide and diverse. His toolset includes digital and paper based concept visualisation, 3d modelling, detailed structural drafting, and presentational plan sets combined with hands on fabrication across a full spectrum of materials and machinery.

He began working in theatre and film in 1999, gathering broad experiences in props model making, set building, sculpting and special effects.

In 2005 he began the Bachelor of Theatre Design at NIDA, graduating with the William Fletcher Trust Grant in 2007. His passion for whole system ecological design was consolidated with training in both Urban and International Development Permaculture Design Certificate's in whole system ecological design. He is currently undertaking a Masters of Architecture with the University of Melbourne.

With a love for the moment developed in temporary and semi permanent design, Andy is driven towards new challenges and extending his practice into designing spaces and structures that can resonate in the heart, mind and functional lives of their users.
