About
Strategist that Lives in the Field Finding The Solutions Changing the World.
Hey, I'm Andi. Before I became an expedition diver traveling the world to find people solving our most critical environmental and social challenges, I was a digital brand strategist at the agencies that built the internet.
My job is to go where no one else is going and think the way no one else is thinking. I live on the edge to look closer and think bigger — and in doing so, I help some of the most influential people share their impact when the world isn't looking first.

Edges of Earth
A multi-year global research expedition across 50+ countries, where my team and I lived with scientists, Indigenous leaders, and communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Named a Fast Company World Changing Idea for helping the people doing the hardest work scale their impact. Our short-form documentary premiered at the International Ocean Film Festival in 2026.

The people closest to the edge understand it best — and they're already solving the challenges the rest of the world is only beginning to face.

What People Say
Hover to read → “Andi Cross is not just a dear friend and colleague, not only a branding genius, and not simply a champion for the environment — she is also someone who actually does what she says she can do, and does it with excellence. I have had the pleasure of working with Andi for a decade, and our team at H/L is fortunate to count her among our go-to experts, leading brand strategy here. She has worked with most of our portfolio companies, from short conversations to complete rebrandings and everything in between. Her work is fresh, relevant, effective, and beloved, and her work ethic is prompt, professional, and masterly, but always with enthusiasm and a smile.”
Hover to read → “Working with Andi and the Edges of the Earth team has provided some of the most incredible opportunities — together I feel we've pushed some bounds of exploration and personally helped me develop a deeper sense of ocean awareness and conservation. The Edges of the Earth team inspires me to think about the intersection of exploration and conservation. Conversations with Andi are wide ranging and inspirational — but more importantly actionable.”
Hover to read → “Edges of Earth didn't come in to tell our story — they came to listen, to learn, and to help us carry it. Everything we built together reflects our whakapapa, our tikanga, and the future we see for our moana. They understood the power of standing beside, not in front. With their support, we've taken Mohimohi Moana from vision to action — and we're doing it our way.”
Hover to read → “At Oceanic Global, we believe that fostering deeper connection with the natural and oceanic world is essential to protecting it. Collaborating with Edges of Earth allowed us to support a powerful and boundary-pushing approach to storytelling — one that reveals the wonder, fragility, and resilience of our blue planet in a way that speaks to both the heart and the mind.”
