After graduating valedictorian from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, Goods had the amazing opportunity to create his own job at NASA’s famed Jet Propulsion Laboratory where he currently works as a visual strategist. He runs a creative studio, works on art pieces that speak to the incredible discoveries that NASA makes and collaborates with their visionaries to brainstorm future missions.
Dan Goods also has his own studio where he collaborates on personal creative projects around the world. He won an International Design Excellence Award for his work on the eCLOUD, a 110-foot long digital sculpture at the San Jose International Airport. His other works include large-scale art projects at the Atlanta International Airport, SIAS International University in China and BMW in Paris.

How much does humor factor into your keynotes and other speaking engagements?
I was giving a talk in China and no one was laughing, I then realized that none of them spoke English! Eventually we had a translator and they were all laughing out loud. I love making people laugh, but my goal is to have people laugh, get goosebumps, and cry all at the same time.
