Bill is a designer, photographer, artist, author, and co-founder of Tremendousness. He regularly impresses clients and coworkers alike with his balance of analytical and creative thinking, a skill evolved through his experience working in newsrooms, as a founding partner of XPLANE, and a career spent collaborating with educators, entrepreneurs, and Fortune 500 companies.
He’s written two books (and been featured in dozens of others) and his offbeat creativity has earned him coverage in places like The New York Times, Wired, NPR, and Advertising Age, placement in multiple books, as well as guest appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, an exhibit at the Cannes Lions, and spots onstage at TEDxVienna, Pecha Kucha STL, Society for News Design, and several other conferences.
When Bill isn’t backpacking long trails in the woods (so far: OT’19&’20, R2R’21, TRT’22, CLT’23, plus KT’02&21 on bike) or having adventures with his wife Diane, he’s almost certainly watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 or Rifftrax. Originally from Ohio, he earned a BFA from Ohio University’s School of Visual Communication. Bill lives in St. Louis with his wife Diane and their dog Cannonball (who very much lives up to his name) and has two wonderful kids in college.
