Rich Godfrey has been a graphic designer in Atlanta and New York for over forty years. While best known for his presentations for Atlanta's successful Olympic and Super Bowl bids, he also known as the former owner of FUSE, an award-winning design firm, whose client list included IBM, Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines, UPS, Emory University and Emory Healthcare, to name a few. Godfrey's unique style of design placed him with thirty-nine other designers in the book “Radical Graphics, Graphic Radicals,” whose members have influenced design and ad campaigns around the globe. He is a graduate of Ringling College in Sarasota, Florida, with continued education at the Goizueta School of Business. Currently, he and his partner, Kim Dodd, and are immersing themselves in the vibrant art community of Columbus, Georgia, where they "continues to marvel at its creativity and camaraderie." “I draw inspiration from a wide range of artistic expressions, but hold a special appreciation for the artists and artwork that emerged from New York during the 1940s and 50s, as well as the whimsical yet sophisticated creations of Paul Klee. As a result, my work reflects a blend of these influences."
