1 - Andrew Crozier, Senior Urban Designer Daily Designer

In this inaugural episode of WGI’s new podcast, the Daily Designer, our host Erica Guertin talks with Andrew Crozier, a Senior Urban Designer based out of WGI’s headquarters in West Palm Beach, FL.
Growing up in the rural farm town of Ada, Ohio (which he describes as having a “Children of the Corn vibe”) is what initially fostered Andrew’s love for cities. He attended Ohio State University, and after five years and one short semester as a civil engineering major, Andrew graduated with a double major in Graphic Design and History with a concentration in GIS/Geography. Towards the end of his undergraduate career, Andrew discovered the planning profession– a place where his “odd-ball” combination of majors and minors could thrive within what he calls the “Breakfast Club.”
Andrew’s experiences as a planner have taken him from Ohio to England, Pittsburgh to Japan, and Germany to Ghana. Prior to working for WGI, Andrew worked in the public sector as a planning assistant and in military planning to create master plans for Naval Bases across the East Coast and with the European Defense Initiative.
After applying to a laundry list of jobs, Andrew found his place here with us at WGI, where he quickly became a pivotal part of the Urban + Community Planning team. Within the West Palm Beach office, Andrew is known for his great sense of humor, his creativity, and his resourcefulness.
He credits trust from his manager and team, as well as the wide array of interesting projects he's been able to work on here at WGI, for helping build his confidence, experience, and skills.
Go listen to the first episode of Daily Designer now to hear Andrew’s tips for overcoming imposter syndrome, great conversation about the Sims and Spirit Airlines, and a story about what happened when a group of Ghanaian children saw a six-foot-tall ginger man for the first time.
