David Hodges is the guy you can hand that “must be incredible” project that will impress and embolden your client. He’s also the guy that can take care of that ‘down and dirty’ job that has to get out the door, without sniffing at it to remind you it’s a piece of drek project. David Hodges is also the guy who drives in his car all night with the storyboards that didn’t get done on time and makes it to the meeting so that you can present the work and win the account. True story.Lots of designers and art directors have talent and skills. David has those, too, but he also has what can’t be taught: passion and commitment. David has long understood that Advertising is much better than having a social life. He has a book full of work that impresses, and has worked on clients from Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Target and H&R Block to Partnership for a Drug Free America. He understands digital and—better—he understands Design with a capital “D”.He collaborates, plays well with others, and knows how to gut a moose. A desired skill set, if there ever was one.
