“I’m excited to create meaningful digital experiences with the end-user first, driving business results without compromising beautiful design and innovation that people touch and remember,” said Androlia. “I love Thinkingbox’s dual principles of craft and curiosity. There is a focus on excellence in execution and open-mindedness that I feel I share. No idea goes unexplored, and nothing is ‘unbuildable’ for the team and those are values that motivate me.”
“We’ve worked hard to build out our creative services and deliver amazing work to our partners,” said Christine Clark, Managing Director, Thinkingbox. “Helen gives us an edge because her work transcends sexiness and focuses on effectiveness. She is a key hire to support our ongoing work and growth.”
