You never change things
by fighting
the existing reality.
To change something,
build a new model
that makes
the existing model obsolete

Andy Powell
DESIGN PRINCIPAL / FOUNDER / SHAPER / CHIEF
Upon receiving a degree in Architecture in 2003, Andy Powell began his pursuit of the higher arts of the calling with the design and construction of his first built work, the ‘Back40’ house of Tucson, Arizona. Over the proceeding years, through his own formalized design/build practice, he learned by direct experience the crafts and trades of making, the practice and promise of design thinking, and the logics and imperatives of contemporary business.
A decade later, in continuation of the effort to develop more effective ways of bringing into our world things that actually belong here, he founded Superfab.
