Pizza is a New York Times Bestselling author-illustrator of many books for children and adults such as Invisible Things and A Pizza with Everything On It. Pizza is also the creator of the popular podcast “Creative Pep Talk” which Vanity Fair says “is every bit as bright and effervescent as its title would lead you to believe.” For the past 15 years, Pizza has worked as a commercial illustrator for a wide variety of top tier clients including Apple, X-Box and The New York Times. 

Pizza is very public about his ADHD and has become a vocal advocate for embracing neurodivergence. He lives in Columbus, Ohio, with his wife, three kids and two dogs. 

For each program attended, you can earn CEU’s and 1–2 graduate credits for an additional fee.
