Hi! I’m Andy.

I’m a creative director and event producer based in Portland, Oregon.

Right now I’m working on Heck, a dedicated non-alcoholic craft brewery, with my friend and head brewer Justin Miller.

For most of my career I’ve produced my own independent events. In 2012, I co-founded XOXO, an experimental festival that celebrates independent artists who live and work on the internet, with my friend Andy Baio. We produced our last festival in 2024.

Previously I also opened Suckerpunch, Portland’s first zero-proof cocktail bar, I produced Build, a conference and design festival for web designers in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and I published The Manual, a design journal for web designers.

I also often work with internet companies on their community and events strategy through my studio, Regular. I’ve produced festivals and conferences including Duolingo Duocon, Adobe 99U, Framer Loupe, and BackerKit Bond, and have consulted for clients including Slack, Intel, Figma, and Ableton.
