testimonials

Working with Andrew is like handing over the custodial keys to my mind – and I couldn’t mean that with more reverence. He roams the halls of my brain, clears the clutter, uncovers what matters and polishes it until the ideas practically beg to be written. 

His empathy is his superpower: before offering a single thought, he digs into my headspace, finds my goals and tastes, and filters all his insights through that lens – leaving breadcrumb trails that let me arrive at breakthroughs on my own and reap the reward of accomplishment that fuels my desire to create.

Case in point: on my current feature film, Andrew read the script, asked a few questions and said one line – “Everything goes to plan.” To you, it means nothing. To me, it cracked open chasms of unplumbed creativity. It reset my perspective on the characters and story as a whole, allowing me fresh eyes after hundreds of hours of writing.

Whether I’m in a rewrite jam, starting a first draft or just sifting for nuggets of a new project, I always call Andrew. I like to imagine him in custodial coveralls, mop in hand, ready to clean up whatever mess I get into next.

Andrew has an extraordinary gift for tapping into the creative process and helping others do the same. His insights aren’t just inspiring, they’re clarifying. He has a rare ability to articulate the twists and turns of creativity with honesty, precision, and in a way that helps you push your own boundaries.

Andrew doesn’t just understand creativity, he lives it, breathes it, and generously shares it in a way that makes you feel like you’re rediscovering your own voice. His articulation of the underlying mechanics behind creative ideas is key to understanding all of the tools at your disposal when embarking on a new creative venture.

Andrew is one of the most intelligent and insightful people I have ever had the pleasure of working with in my life. He has a unique ability to break down complex situations methodically, ask the right questions, and guide others toward better solutions and personal growth. Making them become an even better version of themselves.

What sets Andrew apart is his combination of honesty, positivity, and empathy. He uplifts those around him with his encouraging mindset while still not afraid to offer constructive advice when needed.

If you want someone who will listen and share ideas openly with you and engage in a conversation without being judged, you must speak with Andrew. He is honest, thoughtful, and genuinely driven by a desire to help others succeed with their best interests at heart. I highly recommend connecting with Andrew today.

Any service that rekindles the embers of a depressed passion by opening a new door not previously seen, is valuable, encouraging, and enlightening!

I’ve been writing stories and music for several years now, and while I appreciate what I’ve created, gaining a new muse is a rare gift. Working with Andrew helped me discover several new go-to workflows in my songwriting. He had a great way of identifying what was missing without inserting his own ideas, and most importantly, we had fun doing it.

They say there’s more than one way to skin a cat. While I’m not sure who’s out there skinning cats, I have learned several new ways to spark my creative process that I continue to use. That’s the best part of working with Andrew: he helps you help yourself long after the session ends. Thanks, Andrew!

I’ve worked extensively with Andrew for many years on creative projects, and I can say with full confidence that I warmly recommend him.

One of his standout qualities is his “yes and…” mindset. He has the ability to take the seed of an idea and nurture it. So many ideas get shut down too early, but Andrew gives even throwaway thoughts the care to bloom. Often the greatest breakthroughs come from these so-called “bad” ideas.

Andrew never imposes his ego on a project. He listens, understands the vision, and tailors his feedback, ideas and suggestions to enhance not just the project, but also the process and personal creative development. He’s an excellent brainstormer, highly creative and an out of the box thinker. He has the ability to focus both on the big picture, and the nitty gritty details.

Lastly, Andrew is open-minded, deeply collaborative and simply a pleasant person to be around. Having him as a consultant on my projects has made them not only much stronger, but also far more enjoyable to work on.

The “creative process” is not only difficult to define, but it’s almost antithetical to try. It is unique to everyone and finding that process is an inherently different journey for each individual. Whereas most people our left to wander on their own and find – or not find – that process for themselves, working with Andrew has been the most helpful resource I’ve found in this space and there’s not a close second.

Andrew has a simple, but direct, mission of helping you find that process unique to you. He is not pushy, he has no preconceived notions of which way you should head, and he enters each project with a clean slate, zero preconceived notions or biases – which in itself is very impressive to be able to achieve. But over many projects and creative endeavors, I can truly say that Andrew just wants to help people find that creative process, whatever that means to them or to a particular project, and the joy he gets out of helping people find that unique path is tangible.

There are many other benefits of working with Andrew: he’s exceptional during the brainstorming phase, he truly believes in “no bad ideas” and will try and nurture the “good” out of any idea brought to the table, and he brings “structure” to the creative process in a way that’s not destructive or inhibiting, but rather a subtle guideline in the backdrop that you realize is there and helpful when you need it. Yet all of those benefits are second to the fact Andrew truly just wants to help people and he’s very good at it, whatever the project may be.

Andrew is an excellent coach. He is a great listener, and very receptive to ideas. He relates to a client as a unique individual. He is very well-read and knowledgeable, and extremely interesting to talk with. He is very upbeat and generally just a whole lot of fun! I highly recommend working with him.

Hiring Andrew has directly helped me in business and life. He has the ability to break problems and situations down in a way that allows me to realize where I got stuck, and sometimes even why I got stuck at this particular spot. He gets to a level of detail where real progress becomes possible. He doesn’t just help me move forward, he helps me find the right way forward. He can bring clarity and momentum, even to a project I might have been stuck on for months or years. It really doesn’t matter. His perspective has a way of shifting almost any problem or situation.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Andrew in a few different creative spaces. Beyond the vast amount of knowledge he possesses, the thoughtfulness and intention he puts into whatever he is working on is close to unmatched. The way he thinks, the way he allows his mind to wander into unconventional places to create, problem solve, collaborate, and bring his best to the situation at hand is truly special.

Andrew also has this amazing listening ability. He listens deep and has the unique ability to bring thoughts and emotions out of you in a non judgmental way. In a way that can open your eyes to something new inside of you that you couldn’t understand, or even recognize before. It’s always a great pleasure when our paths cross, and I get to hear about what he’s working on next!
