About Todd Norman | hand3seen

I’m Todd Norman, the artist, designer, educator, and developer behind hand3seen and Headmosh.com — a creative experiment where art, design, and technology collide.

For over two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of teaching, art, and design, blending traditional craft with emerging tools like AI to create work that’s bold, playful, and unexpected. My journey began as a BFA graduate in photography and printmaking from the University of Michigan, followed by an M.Ed. in education, and years spent teaching students from early childhood through middle school. I’ve led classes in everything from fine art and digital media to reading intervention, always with a focus on sparking curiosity and creative problem-solving.

As the developer and creative lead for Headmosh, I design zines, comics, and brand experiences that merge human and AI collaboration. Headmosh is part art project, part cultural lab — exploring how ideas evolve when code and creativity meet. My work is rooted in Great Lakes culture but speaks to a global audience, drawing inspiration from surf culture, street art, Japanese printmaking, and modern design minimalism.

Through hand3seen.com, I share my projects, experiments, and collaborations. From bold graphic posters to interactive zines, from brand identity systems to playful crypto-driven art, my goal is to make work that’s not just seen — but remembered.

Core areas of expertise:

  • Art & Design: Graphic design, illustration, printmaking, photography

  • Education: 20+ years teaching art, digital media, reading intervention, and creative thinking

  • Brand Development: Identity systems, storytelling, and community-driven creative projects

  • Web & Creative Tech: AI-assisted design, app development, and experimental web builds

If you’re interested in collaborating — whether for a Headmosh project, brand design, or creative tech experiment — I’d love to connect.
