Day 3

Everybody can learn to express themselves in a powerful way. No matter what other people claim. It’s not a gift, it’s a choice. Inspiring and convincing people to take action on your ideas starts with you, your story and how you bring it. At DK2024 Marnick will show you exactly how to do that, illuminating you on crafting captivating stories in 10 minutes or less — so join him in Hall AAA to build some storytelling brilliance while tapping into comedy wisdom. Disclaimer: Communication is serious business. It is only for serious festivals that talk about serious stuff with serious speakers in a serious way. Therefore this talk will be totally serious too. No laughs. None.

Marnick Vandebroek: Stand Up to Stand Out

Artist, Designer, Illustrator, Muralist, Author, Speaker (USA)



 Hall AAA | Friday | 3PM



From a kid from Ohio who barely graduated high school to (badly) painting houses for a living, Timothy Goodman is an award-winning designer who, against all odds, made it by expressing himself fully and authentically — leading him to design major murals in Williamsburg and work with global brands like Apple, Google, MoMa and Yves Saint Laurent. He is a true Artist with a capital A who uses his bold illustrations and graphic drawings to start important dialogues about the world we live in from a creative perspective.



His art was, well everywhere. If you have the February 2023 issue of Time magazine, you looked at Timothy’s cover. If you were in New York City and saw a garbage truck drive by covered in doodles, that was Timothy. If you hang out in trendy NYC hotels, that was Timothy’s art you saw in the lobbies. If you shop at Uniqlo and wanted to buy that cool graphic T-shirt, you’ve probably seen Timothy’s collection that sold 1 million units worldwide. So yes, it is very likely that you’ve seen Timothy’s art sometime or somewhere in your life.&nbsp;



From tackling topics like mental health and politics to celebrating love and heartbreak, Timothy's work is as diverse as it is impactful. He regularly partners with not-for-profit organizations and schools to create art for communities and schools in NYC as well as speaks on difficult topics such as heartbreak, manhood, and mental health around the world at creative conferences. Sometimes we need a reminder of what really matters — and Timothy’s design definitely does the trick.
