Andi is a strategist and account director at Wonder, where she partners with changemakers to turn audience insight into Heartwired messaging that moves people to action. At Wonder, she co-leads research-to-content workflows for clients including Fondation CHANEL and The Colorado Health Foundation, building thoughtful content that calms fear, names complexity, and activates hope.
Andi’s craft sits at the intersection of journalism, oral history, and digital strategy. Before Wonder, she directed communications at All Saints’ Episcopal Church, where she led a website redesign and content overhaul that helped drive a nearly 200% increase in web traffic, a 20% lift in social engagement, and a 17% increase in fundraising revenue.
As an independent qualitative researcher with Uprise/The Opportunity Agenda, she conducted in-depth interviews and delivered synthesis memos to inform democracy narrative work. At Columbia Journalism School, she served as Interim Social Media Manager and launched The Lipman Letter newsletter.
Issue areas she cares about include Black liberation, reproductive and immigrant justice, criminal legal reform, voting rights, and economic equity. She holds Master of Arts degrees in communications and in oral history from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Emory University.
Rooted in her hometown, Atlanta, Georgia, Andi volunteers with Midfulton Democrats, Intown Women’s Resistance, and Refugee Ministries at All Saints’. She believes change work requires empathy, rigor, and the courage to meet people where they are without losing sight of where we need to go.
What motivates you to do this work?
“I am fascinated by the gap between what people think and what they feel—they are rarely the same. Helping bridge that gap with research, dignity, and stories that honor lived experience is how we unlock persuasion and possibility.”
What’s your superpower?
“Deep listening that becomes structure: I translate complex, emotionally charged interviews into clear hypotheses, testable messages, and calm, collaborative plans that teams can execute.”
