It's Nice To Meet You, I'm Andrew Preble

I'm a creative leader. I enjoy solving complex problems and mentoring our future creative leaders. I've had the time of my life designing and building products that make an impact on the users and the business. 

I've had the opportunity to work with some of the largest companies from around the world, shaping their digital ecosystems with highly user-centeric and accessible product design. 

I use this space to share my thoughts and experience as a creative leader and linker, I call these little posts my "File Notes." So take a look and give them a read, if you find them intersting or want to connect you can find me over on LinkedIn
