About Our Speaker
Andrew is an Experience Designer working at SapientNitro. There, he uses his analytical, research background and front-end skills to design and architect leading-edge marketing and web solutions for clients. Andrew is also a core member of the office’s prototyping practice, and believes rapid prototyping is one of the best ways to quickly validate ideas and should be at the heart of any user-centered design process. Prior to joining Sapient, Andrew attended Clemson University, where he focused his Master's in Human-Computer Interaction and did his thesis on what it means to design responsively in an ever-connected landscape.
