Will Gardner makes all sorts of entertaining things for fellow humans.
He has created award-winning work for some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Mastercard, Febreze and the National Football League.
He is a firm believer in well-crafted sandwiches, dance music, the above average outdoors, sliding down mountains on two flat boards, lists, and the Oxford comma.
He was born and raised in the forests of Vermont and currently lives in the forests of Brooklyn, New York.
