Andrew gained a Transport Design degree from Coventry University, UK, in 2002 and has been with Anderson Design since 2005. He’s created many exhibitions, including for Wellington’s Olympic Museum, Cricket Museum, Zealandia and Carter Observatory. “I enjoy one-off projects requiring problem solving and team solutions. And I enjoy painting in the spray booth. That’s the final part of a job - so you’re taking quality right to the end.” A highlight project was developing an interactive model of the human digestive system, for the National Science and Technology Roadshow Trust.
