You Gotta Make a Lot of Stuff Before You Can Make Stuff Like Yourself
Timothy Goodman is constantly trying to find meaning in his work. But what defines meaning? He believes the greatest joy as a designer and an artist is the ability to connect to another human emotionally through his work and words. Whether it's a large-scale public mural on the streets of NYC, a marker scrawling on a Uniqlo t-shirt, a web- based social experiment that documents his life, or writing personal stories on Instagram, he wants to start dialogues about difficult topics such as love, heartbreak, politics, race, therapy and mental health. Join Timothy as he talks about where he’s been, where he’s at, and how he’s trying to redefine what it means to work in this industry.
