They were always the story of the villain.As soon as she was able to audition, she was performing non-stop in high school productions, at the local junior college, and eventually graduating with a BFA in Acting from Chapman University.

By the time she reached LA, she had several film and television credits under her belt, amongst a wide variety of live theater credits.She quickly fell in love with the world of motion capture and her work there can be seen in more than a dozen video games, VR experiences, and tv shows – primarily playing the treasured role of the monster or villain.Andi is also the managing director and performance conditioning coach at Mind’s Eye Tribe: Action Actor’s Academy where she is able to share her love of motion capture and creature performance with other up and coming performers.She is Team Red Vines.
