About Andrew Brinkman

Hi, I\'m Andrew! As a design thinker, storyteller, and strategist, I help organizations design solutions that ensure the human is always placed at the center. Through instinctive empathy, attention to detail, and strategic thinking I collaboratively design tailored solutions, strategies, and services that create value for my clients and teams. Whether it is as a service / business designer, strategy / management consultant, guest lecturer, or small business coach, I strive to leave things, processes, and people better than I found them.
