Moderator

Zach Goodwin
Creative Director, iStrategy Labs

Zach Goodwin finds it unnatural to write in the third person but if he had to, he would brag in the following ways: Zach is a dedicated designer, an inventive writer, and a two-time ADDY and Webby winner. He is also prone to being blondish and over-tall. For the last 5 years, Zach has lost sleep in pursuit of campaigns, identities, commercials, websites, iOS apps, animations, infographics – basically anything that can be made from sweat and pixels. If he had to share one unlikely fact, he would tell you that his job is more about writing and staring into space than it is about Photoshop. Because an idea that makes art out of commerce is a shy and fickle beast – while pretty websites, especially these days, are pretty common. And if he had to sign-off with a joke he would place it right here.
