About:

I’ve been working in the design industry for well over 15 years with a wide range of projects ranging from Theme Parks to Toy Design. Developing various products from napkin sketches and managing them through production and instillation. I’m a big fan of problem solving and using my tool set, ranging from CAD Design to Concept Art, and more to tell the story of all my projects and bring them to life!

In my career, I have developed numerous award-winning products and licensed brands for small businesses all the way up to large corporations, including Hasbro and Disney.

Andrew Tober holds a BFA in Industrial Design from the Columbus College of Art & Design.  Currently resides in Orlando Florida with his lovely wife and son.
