Hello there, I'm Todd.

I'm originally from the land of sensible haircuts, Iowa.
Nowadays you’ll find me in the Bay Area.

Over the past 20 years I’ve helped brands solve their business problems using creativity. Along the way I’ve had a lot of fun putting ideas into the world, always in close partnership with small groups amidst a healthy dose of chaos. I’m happy to talk about any opportunity — hopefully it makes the world a bit more interesting.
