Andrew Cole, MFA, is a versatile artist with nearly two-and-a-half decades of experience in technology and design across film, television, theatre, and print. His extensive portfolio features collaborations with major companies such as Warner Bros. Pictures, Shiseido Cosmetics, TV Land, American Recordings, TBS, Samsung, PBS and Ford. Andrew’s artistic talents have been showcased through his paintings, exhibited internationally, and have appeared in the film Ocean’s 13 and the Marvel TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

His passion for the immediacy and artistry of film led him to theatrical design, where he continues to excel. Over the years, Andrew has expanded his roles: serving as projection designer for American Idiot and Spring Awakening; performer flying operator for The Little Mermaid; and designing scenic elements for the world premier production of W.A.S.P. and The Boys Next Door, the latter earning him the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Award for Theatrical Design Excellence.
