Andrew Hubbard

I'm a design and development leader with over 25 years of experience shaping high-impact retail, restaurant, and hospitality environments that drive business growth and elevate customer experiences.

My career has spanned global branding firms, fast-paced restaurant chains, and strategic consulting, where I’ve led everything from $100M remodel initiatives to multi-site rollouts and brand transformation programs. I specialize in turning strategic vision into built reality — aligning design intent with operational needs, budget constraints, and evolving consumer expectations.

I bring a deep understanding of the full architectural lifecycle, including concept development, construction documentation, permitting, and construction oversight. I’ve built and led cross-functional teams, managed internal and external resources, and developed scalable design standards that maintain brand integrity across portfolios.

Currently, as a Partner at HB Strategy Inc., I advise clients in the retail and consumer goods sectors on brand-forward space planning, risk mitigation, and purposeful design execution.

I’m passionate about mentoring talent, solving complex problems, and building environments that tell stories, engage people, and support long-term business strategies.

Core strengths include:

✔ Architectural & Interior Design Leadership

✔ Brand Strategy & Experience Design

✔ Cross-functional Collaboration

✔ Construction Documentation & Permitting

✔ Team Building & Mentorship

✔ Budget Management & Process Optimization

✔ Fixture Planning & Visual Storytelling

Let’s connect — I’m always open to new ideas, creative collaborations, and conversations about the future of retail design.
