How Andy works.
Researched before it is sketched
Every product is thoroughly researched and defined before a designer touches a sketch pad. 3
Dream, then design for the real world
Decades of design experience means understanding how a design is actually executed. 3
Small and nimble
“We're small, we're nimble and we're very creative.” — Andy Haase 2
