Growing up, Drew straddled two realms: on one hand, he was a scrappy punk kid with a DIY mentality; on the other, he was an early adopter of the internet, and understood the opportunities these new technologies presented. Today, Drew is fortunate to be able to bring both these elements of his personality together through his work, always in new and innovative ways.

Working on projects with real impact and longevity has been an important focus of his personal practice. He strongly believes in the positivity of change and progress, and continuously challenge himself to improve not only his own work, but the industry at large, when and where he can. Part of this quest for improvement is realized in the adoption of new tools, new environments, and new ideas—and part of it comes down to simply accepting that he is an individual with privilege, who can use their platform to bolster others. We should all strive to be champions for kinder design.
