For Drew, design is an act of radical empathy founded on the belief that every space, whether digital or physical, should be built to welcome everyone. As a UX/UI specialist, his dedication to accessibility isn't just a professional checkbox. It is deeply rooted in a career that actually began in the physical world, sculpting molds for prosthetic and orthotic leg braces.

He has spent over a decade bridging the gap between complex technical constraints and genuine human connection. Whether he is mapping out intuitive user journeys for healthcare startups or serving as a core advocate for players with disabilities within the Activision Disabilities Network, his focus remains entirely on breaking down barriers. As Director of Diversity and Inclusion for AIGA Minnesota, Drew is committed to ensuring the local creative community feels deeply approachable, supportive, and accessible to designers of all ability levels, backgrounds, and demographics.

Catch him anytime to talk about scalable design systems, grassroots community growth, indie game storytelling, or the perfect backyard grill setup.
