About

Andrew is an experienced compositing artist and Head of the Compositing Department, known for transforming complex shots into polished, story-driven visuals. He combines technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and artistic sensibility to deliver high-quality imagery even on fast-turnaround, high-profile projects. Andrew’s breadth of experience shines As a key creative on high profile TV series such as The Expanse, Stranger Things, The Umbrella Academy, Beast Games, and big-budget Films like Dr. strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and. SpongeBob SquarePants: Sandy Cheeks Saving Bikini Bottom. Andrew shapes the visual look of shots while leading his team and mentoring emerging talent. He has also developed structured training and mentorship programs within the department to help compositors grow into confident, capable artists. Outside the studio, Andrew draws inspiration from photography, the outdoors, and travel, and he’s always joked that his second career might be in landscaping — while he tries to stay out of the weeds in compositing, he certainly spends plenty of time keeping them off his lawn. He’s also a movie buff, video game enthusiast, jazz trombonist, and has a love for art and technology, all of which inspire fresh ideas for his hands-on work and team leadership. Above all, he cherishes time with his family, especially his young daughter, whose curiosity and joy continue to inspire him every day.
