As a professor at Parsons, The New School for Design & the College of Architecture & Design at NJIT, Atwood led collaborative teams that brought together technologies, designers, and business leaders into a common space of possibility. Atwood’s early collaborative work – bridging advanced computation with traditional visual art – is represented in the permanent collection at the Samsung Museum of Art in Seoul, Korea, as well as additional exhibits in Korea, Germany, England, and New York City.

Atwood’s passion for design is only topped by the height of his hair. His current focus is on sharing his gifts with the world. He is currently hosting a TV show on Netflix called “Hack My Home,” he is a judge on “Shop Class” on Disney+, he hosted a show called “Trashformers” about upcycling, and has appeared on "The Today Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda," BetterTV, DIY, Showtime, King5 NewDay, and was a finalist on season 8 of HGTV’s "Design Star."

Atwood has gained media attention from publications such as The New York Times, Brooklyn Magazine, Esquire, and many more. Atwood has also given numerous lectures, most notably at the Museum of Arts & Design in New York City, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, the Australian Centre of the Moving Image in Melbourne, the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane, and CreativeMornings in NYC. His work has also been featured during NYCxDesign, ICFF, and WantedDesign in New York City.

Brooks Atwood Speaking Topics

How to Channel Your Inner Creativity

This talk is about listening. Listening in a deep way, a cosmic and spiritual way and in a practical way. It’s about the “and both” moments. Nothing is ever only one thing. Your inner creativity is your inner voice and you’ve been working hard to not listen to it. In fact society doesn’t want you to listen to it.

How Essence Became the New Creativity

What is essence? How do we access our essence and what does that have to do with creativity? This talk will guide you through the journey of awakening to the inner you; you’re authentic you and show you how that helps through barriers of business, personal growth and creativity.

Creativity & Business: They Really Can Exist Together

There’s a lot of talk these days about design thinking and business and creativity and business. But what does that really mean? Isn’t all business creative in many ways you say? Yes and there’s a lot to learn about the way designers and creatives think and if you listen, deeply listen, then these ways can change the way you see business.

Lessons From Hosting a TV Show About Business

TV is a funny business. None of it makes any sense at all. Especially not any business sense. Art yes. Business no. But something happens when you host a tv show. Something magical. You start to connect lots of things like story, narrative, timing, drama, audio quality, how to always face the camera and what days have the best lunches.

Here Brooks will share lessons from being a tv host and a business owner and show you ways in which the two have more in common that you might think and how that commonality can transform your business.

Looking Backwards & Forwards: Lessons From a Creative Path

In this talk, Brooks will show how reflecting backwards can transform your future and your mindset. From lessons from spirituality to creative ideas, looking backward and forward can change your life.
