Summary

G'day, I'm Andy. I build brand systems for businesses that have a launch date: the identity, the guidelines, the packaging, the signage and the website, argued as one thing, and I do the hands-on design as well as the direction. I trained in graphic design in Ho Chi Minh City and work between Sydney and Vietnam on national and international projects: city governments, a Marriott operator, a Sydney startup. Now studying architecture at UNSW, so I read a brand the way a visitor reads a room.
