In 2005, Andy founded The Matter Factory in Kansas City. It is part artist studio, part laboratory, and part factory. In addition to producing objects of his design, the company contains a collaborative element. Guest designers and artists are invited to develop objects for production, which might otherwise have trouble finding an eager manufacturer.
Since 2016 Andy has been involved with the Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop — ACAW.
In 2019, The Matter Factory began a formal collaboration with Boston Valley Terra Cotta to help with Research and Prototyping for the annual ACAW event.
