Andrew is the creative force behind archimania’s architectural visualizations and photography and is the lead designer of multiple award-winning projects. A multidisciplinary designer with over 21 years of experience in both commercial and residential architecture, he works across a wide range of scales. His design approach is rooted in clarity and restraint, with a strong emphasis on the use of digital modeling and rendering for conceptual refinement, iterative exploration, and visual communication. He has juried professional design awards programs for AIA North Carolina, AIA South Carolina, and AIA Chicago as well as served as studio critic at University of Memphis, Tennessee, and Idaho. Andrew was recently honored with the 2024 AIA Memphis President’s Award.
Over the past decade, Andrew’s passion for visual storytelling has expanded into architectural photography. As archimania’s in-house photographer, his work has been featured in numerous print and online publications, including Architecture Magazine, Oxford American, ArchDaily, and Domus. His integrative use of digital media continues to play a vital role in shaping archimania’s design ethos and strategic direction.
In parallel with his professional experience, Andrew serves as a Professor of Practice in the Department of Architecture at the University of Memphis. With 19 years of teaching experience, he focuses on the intersection of digital media, visual communication, and design methodology in architectural education. He has developed and led courses that bridge academic inquiry with professional application, reinforcing his role as a mentor both in academia and in practice. In recognition of his contributions to the profession and to architectural education, he received the AIA Memphis President’s Award in 2025.
Andrew’s scholarly and creative work in photography documents the urban and cultural landscapes of the region, as well as more personal visual narratives centered on family life and travel. This ongoing body of work reflects his continued investigation of the intersections between storytelling, memory, and the built environment.
