American artist who designed the USS Enterprise-D and contributed to the refitted Enterprise of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Andrew Probert, an American artist born in 1946, worked as a concept designer and illustrator on Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1978, contributing to the design of the refitted USS Enterprise. In 1986 he joined the new Star Trek: The Next Generation, initially to design the bridge of the Enterprise-D, and he went on to create the ship's exterior.
Probert and Rick Sternbach were the first two hires of the Next Generation art department, and his single season on the series established the visual identity of its flagship.
