As a young man studying Architecture at Pratt Institute, Andy spent winters and summers apprenticing as a framer and finish Carpenter. This practical experience impelled his grounded approach to design, fundamental understanding of architectural details, and respect for building materials. After graduating in 2004, Andy spent 15 years working in notable architecture firms of New York such as Tsao McKown Architects, Lalire March Architects, and his private practice. Unhappy with the limitations and antiquated ideas of what an architect is, Andy took on every aspect of design and build. Idea, feasibility, cost, and timeframe led him to fast-paced modern making. For the past decade, luxury retail has become the fastest life cycle and provided the want for ideas to fruition.
