Bio
Emma Dickinson, MBA
Andy is an amazing team leader. I worked with Andy on Littlest Pet Shop as an Associate Brand Manager while he led design. One of the things that I loved most about working with Andy was his incredible respect for everyone on his team, no matter their position or level. He always valued my ideas, supported my growth, and even advocated for me even though I didn't report to him. He was a great coach and advocate for his direct reports as well, and cultivated a loyal and dedicated team. In addition, his friendly attitude and positive energy would brighten any office atmosphere, making it a place his team looks forward to working each day!

Andy Riggs is one of the rare talents you only hope to have the opportunity to encounter. Andy is the most dedicated, loyal and hard working Design Directors I have ever met. He continually demonstrates design leadership and excellence. His actions speak louder then words- he is right there in the trenches with his team while also moving management mountains. There is no job too small for him- he will take it on and deliver amazing results on time and within budget. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again- in an instant.
