“Homie” – Best-selling author Shea Serrano

Hey, I'm Andy. I’m a creative strategist and writer who made a living in marketing and brand strategy for years. Now I use what I’ve learned to support bold artists and brands.

Over my career, I've written essays and reviews for The Atlantic, USA TODAY, Headspace, Quartz, The Columbus Dispatch, and other global publications. While at Big Cartel, I led marketing initiatives driving $2.5+ billion in artist sales. I’ve also worked for startups and clients including best-selling author Shea Serrano.

Five years at Apple defined how I approach all my work: with attention-to-detail driven by curiosity, care about how something works on the inside, and helping everyone benefit from technology.

Need a lift? I help make your work feel easier and more creative.

Every ride, this is true:

You’ve got the idea,

We deliver creative fuel. 🚕🫧
