Bio
Stephanie Kohl
When I hired Andrew to join the Primer Design team, he began contributing to a new product team with an impending launch date immediately. He moves seamlessly between design, product, engineering and marketing team decisions. I’ve never worked with a designer so deeply in tuned to the full customer experience, including marketing and sales. I feel lucky we overlapped and though it was brief, Andrew made a huge impression on me and the greater team. His thoughtful feedback in designs syncs pushes the team towards well-established and research-based decisions, while also bringing levity and fun.
Stephen Edmondson
It has been a pleasure knowing Andy on a professional and personal level. His professionalism and dedication to clients is something to be admired and emulated. His skill set of design, development, strategy, and testing is already impressive but he strives for continuous improvement in everything he does. I am grateful to have him as a team member here at ROIworks.

I was recruited to convert Wargaming's corporate website to WordPress. This project is very much about converting a static site into a dynamic site that gives employees the ability to add and edit content without knowing anything about web design.
