Hi, I’m Andy Chan, a Managing Principal at Studio+, where I lead our Engineering division. Although I’m based in our Orange County office, I’m dedicated to promoting teamwork and cooperation across all Studio+ locations to deliver seamless and innovative solutions to our clients.

Engineering is my passion. It’s not just about designing engineering systems but also about improving them to meet each client’s unique needs. I approach every project as if it were my own and strive to find the most suitable use of lighting, power, mechanical, and plumbing systems. My professional philosophy is “Well begun, half done!” because I believe that early planning and collaboration are essential to the success of any project.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve grown my expertise in management, design, construction support, and working with clients in a diverse range of markets, including critical mission facilities, healthcare, higher education, and renewable generation, to name a few. Before joining Studio+, I worked as an engineering consultant with this amazing team for over a decade. This experience made my decision to come aboard an easy one.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find me participating in church activities, cheering on my son from the sidelines of his soccer games or hanging out with my family and friends. I used to play basketball and badminton, but now I love staying active by working out, cycling or snowboarding. The most important aspect of my life is spending time with family and friends. One year, instead of sending out Christmas cards in the mail, I decided to ride my bike to each family member to personally deliver their card. It was a fun adventure that took me three days and around 150 miles of riding.
