MEET TODD T
As an award-winning creative, with 25+ years of experience, I deliver insight, ideas and creative executions to bring brands and stories to life. Communication is at the heart of what I do. I articulate strategy, hone ideas and shape designs that engage consumers, inspiring them to take action.
Maintaining open communication, collaboration and transparency—the formula for success when it comes to my management style. My foundation is my inner drive. I stay current with consumer culture and cultural trends and live to push boundaries, not feed ego trips. I walk the talk with a thoughtful and diplomatic demeanor. Powered by curiosity, I’ve found that being a creative is not just a living, it is living.
With degrees in graphic design and communications from Wichita State University, Todd has racked up more than 25 years in the business. From designing graphics and marketing materials for sporting goods, fitness and hospitality, to creating award-winning editorial design to television and print campaigns, Todd has designed for a wide range of clients and platforms.
When not hovering over his mouse, Todd likes to be with his family, cheer on his beloved Chicago sports teams, enjoy live music, volunteer with Chicago youth programs, coach high school baseball, run marathons and triathlons, train jiu jitsu and enjoy a pint or two at the local pubs.

Todd and I have worked together for approximately 8 years, during this time he was a leader to his team as well as others.

Todd T! What a guy. For over 10 years I’ve had the pleasure of working with this creative genius and he has been nothing short of incredible. Todd often balanced multiple brand projects and last minute design requests with patience and professionalism. A deadline was never not attainable for Todd and he worked under crunch time many hours of the day for us at DineAmic to ensure the job got done. Without Todd, the ever changing needs of a restaurant would have never been able to roll out successfully without his dedication to us as his client. And the most amazing part about Todd? His attitude! Never once did he show any signs of being overwhelmed by balancing hundreds of emails from different angles and accounts – which you have to be a saint to not buckle under these conditions at times. Todd is just that – a saint! We look forward to retaining him for design projects in the future as I don’t think we can succeed without him! 100 star recommendation!
