Andrew Wright is a Nashville-based senior art director, designer and artist. With a talent for directing creative teams, he consistently produces high-caliber work for a wide array of clients.
Coming from a creative family, Andrew's approach to design blends teachability, compassion and collaboration at all levels. He first learned the importance of deadlines as a broadcast designer at CNN Headline News, designing websites on the side. Expanding into print, he cut his teeth as an art director at advertising giants BBDO and Ogilvy, working with renowned brands Coca-Cola, Home Depot and AT&T.
As the landscape of web development evolved, Andrew's background in web design enabled him to seamlessly bridge the gap between creativity and technology. This transition into UX/UI fostered strong collaborations with developers. Most recently, at HCA Healthcare, he managed a team of 18 designers, successfully integrating all marketing work in-house for over 3,000 locations and implementing a proprietary template-based software that enables clients to update assets in real-time.
Outside of Andrew's professional endeavors, he has made significant contributions to the art community. He organized and hosted four major art events in Chattanooga and Atlanta, drawing thousands of attendees to enjoy live graffiti, music, and body painting, the proceeds benefiting local art programs at elementary schools. These events were held in dilapidated properties that he helped revitalize into highly sought-after real estate.
Andrew is also dedicated to giving back to his community. He volunteers at the Humane Society and has a unique culinary talent, winning second place three times in Atlanta with his now-affectionately named ‘2nd Place Chili.’ His hobbies include cooking, motorcycles, and exploring new creative outlets like welding, sculpting, and making his first pair of "wearable-in-public" jeans.
