Todd Goodale // Creative Director
about.
"About" sections are funny things. They can go so many ways. Do I go all serious and achievements and stats or do I paint a tiny picture and do a little storytelling? That way you get a little depth and connection to go with the work you see and to see if you'd like to work with me. I'll think I'll paint a tiny picture, try not to sound all Tinder-like, and leave the real serious stuff to my resume and LinkedIn profile.
That's what they're there for.
I’m a "creative" living in Brooklyn. I'm a Vet. An art director by trade. A creator. A conceptor. A problem solver. A mentor. A family man. And a champion of great design. I’ve been concepting, designing, creating, growing, managing, mentoring, learning, kerning, tweaking, full-screening, and lower-thirding for several years. A seasoned professional, if you will. I've worked at small ad agencies, large ad agencies, and in broadcast. A place called NBC, you might have heard of it. I like to solve tough problems, on and off the clock, I have a hard time turning it off once it's on. I always try to design in clean, smart, and unique ways. I'm an avid photographer and put that to use all the time when I work. I'm a complete tech geek and was one before the term started being used at places like Best Buy. I'm Peloton obsessed lately — 3 years and counting. I think podcasts and podcasting are genius and easily one of the best things to come along in a while. Music is always playing around me. My dog is always running around me. I'm motorcycle obsessed and own two, which I always work on, either to repair or to customize the way I want. The creative side always fighting to come out. lol. I like to tinker and fix things. I love getting lost in movies — good or bad. I try to make every day a good day, otherwise, it’s kind of a waste. I don’t like to do what the “other guys” are doing unless it's great, then I try to beat them. I'm competitive by nature and I'm constantly doodling. I could go on but I will stick with the tiny picture I mentioned above. If you do want to hear more just hit me up because as you can see, I love to talk.
