Todd Johnston, emissary of design
A "designer designing design," Todd works with design as a tool to facilitate learning, collaboration, individual and collective creativity, and emergent, bottom-up solutions. Since the early 1990's, he has worked with and within a variety of organizations, applying his skills to a wide range of concerns in corporate, non-profit, government and community-based settings in the US and Europe.
After several years as an advisor and board member, Todd "officially" joined Gail on the Tomorrow Makers core team in January of 2006, and now brings his design skills to bear on each of the organization's projects and relationships.
Todd is a founding member and the current president of The Value Web, a international association of process and interaction designers focusing on engaging NGO's, social enterprises, foundations, non-profits, governments and multi-sector collaborations.
From 1992 through 2002, Todd worked for MG Taylor Corporation, where he 'cut his chops' and developed his design sense. The MG Taylor body of knowledge continues to be at the core of his approach.
Full disclosure: In addition to being partners with Gail in Tomorrow Makers, and having worked closely together at MG Taylor, Todd boasts of the wonderful fortune to be her son.
He lives in Los Gatos with wife, Elisa, and their 2 year old son, Owen.
