About Andy

Hi, my names Andy Poole, I’m a graphic designer and illustrator who is currently looking for full-time work, placements, and freelance work.

I have a strong passion for handdrawn type. As much as I love creating and drawing all day long, I also enjoy subway sandwiches, bowling, going to the cinema, going to the pub with mates, rugby, football, nandos, London, buying clothes, films and computer games, among other things!

Since finishing uni I’ve been able to take on a variety of placements at Dinosaur in Manchester, Beyond Design in Maidenehead, Vivid Brand, Design Bridge and Just Design, all three in London. As well as this, I’ve worked at a cafe in Reading so that I could afford to go on all these placements, as well as finding the time to have knee surgery for an old rugby injury!

Whilst in my third year, I was fortunate enough to be awarded a D&AD In-Book Award 2009 for the PJ Smoothies Brief, and here is my award!
