About Me
Will Wood
Creative Czar @ Dead Pocket
When I was eight years old, I thought I could move things with my mind. As it turned out, I was moving my head instead.
So, what do I do? I make stuff up. I imagine. I think in pictures and words. I share inspiring moments with others. I think in a group. I ask, “What if we…” and “Why not?” And I help others do all of the above. I specialize in creative direction, design, and illustration. For most of my career, I’ve been a creative/marketing agency guy. For over twenty years, I’ve worked with well-known brands, dynamic start-ups, and industry leaders. I’m ignited by collaboration and exploration.
I have nineteen senses: Sight, Sound, Touch, Smell, Taste, Humor, Rhythm, Irony, History, Sensibility, Community, Spirituality, Urgency, Privacy, Aesthetic, Wonder, Complexity, Integrity, and Absurdity.
I’m a compulsive doodler. It’s my way of seeing the world, my narrow escape, and my means to an end. It’s an irresistible and urgent act. It’s a language, a process, and a therapy. And it keeps me from being afraid of numbers.
If I weren’t a creative professional, I’d be a cartoonist, a writer, a protest singer, an artist, a rodeo clown, an atmospheric photographer, a poet, a one man band, a crowd control strategist, a mentat, a wanderer, a collector, an interpreter of dreams, a silencer of doubt, a human cannonball, a mime, or a flamenco guitarist from Barcelona named Guillermo.
And I doodle when I’m paying attention.
