He has a Masters of Design in Strategic Foresight & Innovation from OCAD University\, and is completing a Juris Doctor at the University of Toronto. Andrew supports projects from idea to reality: he has launched\, funded\, and fulfilled ten of his own crowdfunding campaigns\, and has consulted on several others. He has a strong environmental ethic and a drive to make positive change. Andrew is currently producing Coextinction\, a partially crowdfunded documentary about the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales on the west coast and their interconnectedness with other species\, including humans. Andrew worked as a law student at the public interest environmental law charity Ecojustice last summer\, and will article there in 2021.
