What my mentees say
If you’re interested in growing as a designer, ask Andy to be your mentor. His encouragement, humour, and emotional intelligence inspired me to become a better designer. Mentoring from someone who is fluent in design was one of my best decisions.I feel more excited about design than I have been in years.
Scott Gruber, Los Angeles, CA
Andy has helped reignite my enthusiasm for digital design as well helping me focus on developing my business in a new direction. I’ve really enjoyed our sessions and hope to continue them in the future.
Sanjay Sinha, London, UK
Through his coaching, Andy has helped me improve my design skills significantly by challenging me to step out of my comfort zone. His friendly approach to teaching, experience, and expertise make him the ideal design mentor.

Coaching
For in-house designers
Are you part of a team of in-house designers? Do you sometimes struggle with developing fresh approaches for the products or websites you design? Are there times when it’s difficult to convince managers or stakeholders of the benefits of new ideas? I can help.
As someone who’s worked in-house with teams of designers and developers, I can offer advice, guidance, and support. I also provide an outside voice who can help you overcome the challenges that in-house designers frequently face.
For freelancers
Working alone can often feel isolating as frequently, there’s no one to talk with about design except your clients or family. I offer an experienced pair of eyes and a fresh perspective on your designs. I can help you by talking over creative concepts and offer advice on colour, layout, and typography.
If you want to attract new clients, I can help you present your portfolio, share my pitching techniques, and offer advice on contracts and client relationships. Sometimes you need someone to talk to, and as somebody who’s been in your position, I can be that person.
Design lead as a service
Do you need somebody with senior-level design expertise to improve design across your organisation, but you can’t justify a full-time position? As a part-time design lead, I can give you the help you need.
- Develop strategy for online and offline marketing
- Maintain brand consistency across channels
- Help produce compelling content
I can be a cost-effective and flexible alternative to a full-time employee working with you one, two, or four days per month.
Working with Andy was a great experience. I particularly liked the way we worked together and it felt like he was part of the team instead of being external. He taught us a lot and has changed the way we design and develop websites.
