“Andy is the producer every creative dreams to have on a project, and every client loves working with. Incredibly smart, perfectly hilarious, carefully considerate of every detail. I had the privilege of working with Andy on Google Home, including a large-scale shoot with a remarkable amount of logistical details. From a director/creative's perspective, my favorite thing about Andy is this: he makes all the intensity of managing a project invisible to the creative, allowing them to focus solely on getting good work done, and avoiding all the stress. It's incredible. He kept us on schedule, in-line with scope, in-line with legal, in-line with the brief, and we essentially felt as if we were completely free to create without boundaries. He's a genius. From a business perspective, I saw Andy bring fresh perspective and energy, improve and cultivate client relationships beyond expectation, and deliver results that met direct needs while adding a unique flavor. Andy just brings so much to the table beyond what is expected of a producer, he's an explosion of energy, a creative, dynamic leader, and the perfect manager for a project of any size. It was a privilege working with Andy, and I can't wait to do it again.”

Jingle Jamz
Jingle Jamz was a magical digital out of home experience that left children and adults alike amazed, stunned or just grinning ear to ear.
The idea was simple: spread heaping amounts of holiday cheer to our neighbors at the Historical American Tobacco Campus and to downtown Durham, N.C.
So naturally we built a singing robot that let users conduct and manipulate classic holiday songs with their hands.

The idea was simple: spread heaping amounts of holiday cheer to our neighbors at the Historical American Tobacco Campus and to downtown Durham, N.C.
So naturally we built a singing robot that let users conduct and manipulate classic holiday songs with their hands.
Users who stepped up onto the brightly LED-lit vinyl mat raised or lowered their hands over icons. Icons like: Tempo (speed it up or slow it down); Silly (insert wacky sound effects here); Echo (add a French Alps inspired echo) or Retro (enter the stylings of a 1920’s Victrola) to the main holiday track.
How’d we do it? Well, machine an old coffee table into a 16 inch cube, fill it with electronics, mount an old surround sound system to the exterior, hang it 14 feet in the air and sprinkle with technology magic. Apply holiday cheer to taste and enjoy!

Paws4ever is a guaranteed-adoption animal shelter and sanctuary dedicated to improving the lives of cats and dogs through adoption, training and education located in Mebane, NC.
As part of a pro bono effort at McKinney, Paws4ever received a full rebranding. I produced a complete redesign of the Paws4ever brand: from the logo, color palette and signage to the brand new gorgeous responsive website along with the East Coast's first food truck for dogs!
