about ME

Where Strategy Meets Soulful Design.

My journey into design started in economics—because what better way to study human behavior than through supply and demand curves?? But understanding markets wasn’t enough—I wanted to help shape them. That drive, paired with my entrepreneurial instincts and a deep need to build meaningful things, led me into the world of design, product strategy, and branding.

Over the past 12+ years, I’ve worked hands-on as both a designer and creative director, partnering with enterprise leaders and fast-growing startups to transform complex ideas into profitable, human-centered digital experiences. In 2018, I founded Wolf&Whale to scale this impact. Our team delivers end-to-end design, branding, and content solutions—bringing bold ideas to life through a simple belief: great work lives where strategy meets soulful design.

Now based in Boston with my wife, Hannah, and our 8-pound Micro-Bernedoodle, Olive (who’s pretty sure she runs the place), I remain most passionate about the intersection of strategic design and organizational transformation. I’m fascinated by how design can catalyze innovation across brand, product, and service ecosystems. I lead with a hands-on approach—from high-level strategy to pixel-level execution—helping organizations align around a clear purpose and reposition for long-term relevance and growth.

CLIENTS

WHat I do

For Startups & Innovators:
Startups have it tough—juggling funding, cracking the product-market fit puzzle, navigating tricky regulations, and convincing those first clients or customers to take a chance. That’s where I step in. I team up with founders to turn promising ideas into standout products, crafting user experiences that not only grab attention but also deliver real value right out of the gate. Whether it’s fintech, healthcare, education, D2C or B2B, I help lay the groundwork for products that investors and stakeholders can’t ignore.

For High-Impact, Enterprise Brands:
Fast-growing brands know that scaling isn’t all smooth sailing—it’s keeping up with explosive growth, staying consistent across platforms, and meeting high user expectations. For companies like Apple, Goldman Sachs, Emirates, Optum, and SharkNinja, I've designed experiences that don’t just look great—they work hard. They’re built to drive conversions, flex with growth, and pave the way for their next big move. My approach ensures that as your brand grows, the user experience stays sharp, seamless, and always a step ahead—because growth should feel as good as it looks.

For Agencies & Consultancies:
Agencies and consultancies know the challenge: clients want memorable products and digital experiences that go beyond the pitch—they need user experiences that truly resonate. With experience working alongside teams at HUGE, Elephant, G&Co, Fantasy, and BBDO, I bring both hands-on design skills and strategic leadership to help agencies deliver results-driven work.

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Todd, who is a business-minded designer, thoroughly understood our challenges, our users, and stakeholders. That's difficult to find. We have increased our overall web and mobile traffic, time on site, and number of subscribers, while reducing our bounce and exit rates. Their forward-thinking design gave us a huge leap forward.

Shawn

Founder @Anima

"We started the project with a redesigned concept and a need for a competent designer to carry through the concepts throughout the website. As soon as Todd came on, he was able to bring value. He is able to take digest information so quickly, and execute with detail. Highly recommend!"

Layla

Product Executive @BCG

“Todd is great to work with. Super on top of it. We never had to follow up to get the promised deliverables. It was always clear that the work provided had been really well thought through & they ingested our feedback really well. We were able to move very quickly and seamlessly with them - I can't recommend them enough.
