Although Andrew’s experience has been split between vibrant urban cities and relaxed mountain communities, he often finds himself being drawn back to the mountains and because of that, has developed a deep respect for the relationship between the natural and built environment.

He has contributed to the Town of Avon’s Main Street Plan, Nottingham Park Master Plan, Lake Street Plan, West Town Center Plan, East District Plan, and the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan.
Andrew’s sense of aesthetics is a synergy of influences and appreciations between Asia and the Scandinavian region. Andrew prefers contemporary architectural forms that reflect its context through noble materials. Tuning into a client’s vision and interpreting their ideas with a creative solution drives Andrew’s love for architecture and the design process. Andrew’s ideology is best summed up by the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
