BUSINESS LEADER & CREATOR
BIO
MY NAME IS JOE ANDREWS.
Everything that excites me can be placed into one of three categories: creating really cool things, helping shape the stories of those really cool things, and finding unique ways to share them with the world. Whether that “thing” is a revolutionary plant-based burger, a beautiful new software redesign, or a really exciting album I just heard, I’m no stranger to falling in love with great products and art, and I want to continue chasing these love affairs for my entire personal and professional life.
I am currently working at Impossible Foods in the Bay Area, leading our international product management function and directing launch program management for all retail products.
Through the experiences below, I know I have built the skillset necessary to make great products, shape brand stories, and hit launch timelines. And have a heck of a lot of fun doing it.

MUSIC
Playing music will always be part of my life. I've been writing songs for as long as I can remember, and I finally got the nerve to start recording some of them in college.
My guitar has been the first one to hear about the best and worst moments of my life. I can trace how I felt at every phase of my life through my songs, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
WRITING
I was terrified at the idea of going on intellectual autopilot once I graduated college, so I set out on a mission: write down one thought at the end of every day. After a few years, I turned that mission into my monthly newsletter Speaking of Which.
Think of this newsletter as a verbal map of my brain. A database of all the things I've thunk. The abrasive. The insightful. The uncomfortably sensitive. And the utterly forgettable.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is two questions to me: how do you make the mundane beautiful, and how do you make the beautiful interesting? Anyone can go to the Colosseum and take a cool picture, but not everyone can go to the Colosseum and take a thoughtful picture, and I'm enjoying that challenge more and more with every passing year.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
I never really intended to learn Photoshop. But when you hate the feeling of not being able to recreate the things you see in your head as much as I do, eventually you say, "Screw it," and dive in head first.
There is no skill I have that has come in handy more times than this. If you can think it, I can probably make it.
