In 2008 he established a design office in Paris with Toan Vu-Huu and their work in editorial design, artist books, posters, type design, visual identities and signage systems has since been regularly published and exhibited internationally.

A teacher from the earliest days of his career, André currently lectures in Typography and Type Design at Zurich University of the Arts, EnsAD University of Decorative Arts in Paris, and the National Workshop for Type Design in Nancy, France. He has been a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale since 2002.
