I’m Andy, a content developer working across digital learning, education publishing, and kids’ media.
In other words, I design stuff that helps kids learn.
📍 North West, United Kingdom
👋🏼 Introduction
At the heart of my career is a simple motivation:
Be part of a diverse team that creates meaningful experiences for kids.
To that end, I’ve designed toys, taught English, and created all sorts of content for young learners. The ‘What’ changes, but they ‘Why’ is always the same.
🤖 Toy Design
I started out studying Industrial Design at Sheffield Hallam University. A second-year brief—design a toy for open-ended play—was when I realised I could combine two passions, education and design. That idea carried through into my Master’s, and eventually, everything else.
🌏 China
After graduating, I moved to China to teach English. It was meant to be a one-year stint to gain some teaching experience, but I ended up staying for 13 years—progressing from teacher to academic manager, then into content and editorial leadership. Over the years, I developed excellent communication skills, helping me work across cultures and collaborate as part of diverse, international teams.
🔎 What Now?
Now it’s spring 2025. I’m based in the North West UK and looking for my next role on a diverse team that creates meaningful experiences for kids. If you know one, let me know!
