Andrew McCarthy

For Andrew, production design offers finite controls, and design possibilities limited only by imagination and skill.

With over two decades of experience, Andrew brings passion and unwavering attention to detail to his role at Lippincott.

Where do you find your inspiration / source of creativity?: I am fascinated by Yoruba textiles, unexpected accidental art observed in outdoor decoration deterioration and voting booth graffiti.
Do you have a mantra or a favorite quote?: “Lack of charisma can be fatal.” -Jenny Holzer
What is your favorite art movement / designer? Why?: The postmodern designers who contributed to the Swid Powell silver and ceramics tablewear collections of the 1980s. They disrupted traditional design formality with whimsical and bold thematic/visual juxtapositions.
What did school actually teach you?: That failure, not accomplishment, is automatic. Effort and earning, not luck, yield rewards.
