Two Designers Walk Into a Bar is the result of a couple spirited phone conversations between Todd Coats and Elliot Strunk.
Elliot and Todd both worked together in the halcyon design age of the 1990s, are frequent speakers to businesses and universities and have also served as presidents of their local AIGA chapters.
Todd also once drove Elliot home after having his wisdom teeth removed and they have been kicked out of a go-kart track and an Outback Steakhouse together. (On two separate occasions; they’re not savages.)
Todd Coats has a career as varied as his sweet sock collection.
Currently he’s the Senior Director of Creative for (ISC)² – an international cybersecurity nonprofit. When not directing brand strategy, he teaches it in a popular workshop series for the American Marketing Association. He also spends a lot of time making and collecting illustrations, and convincing his family that’s not a cry for help.
Elliot Strunk has been lucky enough to make a living doing what he loves.
He is the principal and creative director of Fifth Letter, a full-service communication design studio. He’s also the Chief Creative Strategist for Honestly, a remote-first, highly-scalable marketing agency. Outside of the office, he also dabbles in collage art, entrepreneurial ventures and building creative community. He’s also not bad at trivia. He has an amazing wife and sweet-natured teenaged son he enjoys traveling with near and far.
