“I take comfort in knowing that Andreas deeply cares about his work, but I’ve benefited much more from the way he cares about his people. He knows how to pause, reflect, and prioritize. He will always devote the attention needed to help work through a design problem, a management struggle, or even a personal issue. He gives honest advice, not instructions. From strategic ideation, to team leadership, to each constructive conversation—he brings a wealth of experience and compassion to everything he does, enabling all around him to navigate the complex business we support.”

— Ben Brucker, San Francisco

“On our team, Andreas was known for having the most discerning and objective art director’s eye, for leading teams that delivered incredibly polished work, and for recruiting world-class talent to our organization. In fact, he did all of those things, but his trustworthiness and honesty were the most valuable qualities to me, and are the biggest reasons why I’d always look forward to working with Andreas again.”

— Jessi Rymill, San Francisco

“Andreas has the ability to manage and inspire coworkers across multiple cultures, continents & time zones. Like Dieter Rams said: «You cannot understand good design if you do not understand people; design is made for people.» I genuinely believe that Andreas understands people and you can see it in his work. Besides his creative work, he is an empathetic and thoughtful human being. He embodies the learning mindset... he has all the hallmarks of a mentor and a great leader.”

— Alexis Tessier, Paris
