About Andy
A passionate creative Director with almost 20 years of experience, leading a practised studio team, working on both global b2b and boutique Irish brands.
Onboard from the initial analytical and strategic phase right up to the actual implementation.
A storyteller at heart, creating visual languages and design systems that enable immersive experiences through structured narratives.
A collaborator who gets his hands dirty with small teams on big challenges.
A nature lover who has surfed and cycled on six continents.
“When I worked at Maverick I got to watch Andy in action. His design work is always on point - creative, edgy, and beautifully put together.
Whenever I want to know what world class design looks like right now - I just ask Andy what he’s working on. Simply one of the best commercial creatives working in Ireland today.”
