Andy Walters is a Director of Research at PDR International Centre for Design and Research. He possess expertise in product design, user centered design, research design, design thinking, industrial design and 16 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Quite apart from being a national leader in developing UCD research, Andy has a uniquely refined ability to distill arguments, theories, and discussions into clear and definitive outcomes. It has been a pleasure to learn from his approach to developing research projects, and in achieving the optimum balance between theories and pragmatism. " and "I had the pleasure of having Andy as one of my PhD supervisors based out of PDR at Cardiff Metropolitan University. He was a very helpful and practical PhD supervisor, always providing useful feedback on various aspects of my work; helping me to think critically about my structure, arguments and eventual thesis defense. It is no surprise to me that Andy has since advanced to a full Professor at PDR and I wish him much luck in the future with both his research and supervision of students."
