Todd E Clark
Todd is one of the best creative minds in the market, but he’s not here to make things pretty.
After 30 years of designing, creating, directing, and winning awards, of working for the Ackerman McQueen’s of the world and for a world’s worth of clients, Todd knows that his real job is to solve problems. To listen. To become an expert on who you are, what you do, who should care about it and why, and to answer those questions with thoughtful, rational, jaw-dropping design.
