Andre Weiss

A Creator's Mind Palace

Creative Consultant · Researcher · Visual Storyteller

I move between rooms, ideas, and images, helping creative work take shape through care, structure, and collaboration.

Selected Work

Projects as palette studies.

I have worked across many projects and teams, often sitting at the overlap of data and creative practice. Each project below is a room I helped build: the people, the process, the output. Alongside each, I inspect a curated image set with k-means clustering to study color consistency through LAB values, weighted swatches, and a short visual read.

About

Think. See. Build.

Academia taught me how to think. Photography taught me how to see. The work I am most drawn to lives between the two: bringing people, timelines, and creative output into alignment.

I've moved through psychology research, chemistry teaching, youth programming, and portrait and event photography. The through-line is collaboration: I like the room, the process, and the moment where scattered pieces become something finished.
