Watch Andrew Davies’ TEDxCreativeCoast 2010 presentation
With degrees in Illustration, 2D Animation and Broadcast Design, Drew’s multifaceted interests have taken him from small beginnings in advertising at the largest agency on the island of Barbados, to the bowels of Mississippi where he helped build the ad agency MadGENIUS Inc. In between, he managed to throw in some stints at The Weather Channel, Eyevox Film and Video Production and co-found Paragon Design Group in Savannah, Georgia to boot.
As the most Jamaican person at Paragon, Drew now leads the creative team where, in addition to speaking engagements on matters of design, he straddles print, web and motion graphics, working on both the design and production of all three. He’s also managed to convince national magazines like Layers, publications like American Corporate ID, and film festivals like the Travelling Caribbean Film Festival to show his work somehow.
He’s recently been enjoying a few high falutin projects for clients like The Weather Channel, CNN International, The Hatchery LLC, Malaco Records, SCAD, Paula Deen Enterprises, and Farmer D Organics along with some top-secret ones that he can’t even mention. While those are fun, he likes to stay grounded by changing the world, working for non-profits like AWOL (All Walks Of Life) and CAVU (Clear Air Visibility Unlimited).
