Dan Goods Bio
While creating a pipe organ out of soda pop bottles, gardening at the Huntington Gardens and designing four-dimensional objects, I developed a passion. It is to give people experiences where they interact with something beautiful, meaningful, and/or possibly profound. 

I now get to do this as the Visual Strategist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where I create ways of communicating ideas, and, in my own practice through public and private art commissions. I am currently working on projects in Pairs, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Palo Alto. I live in South Pasadena with my wife and 3 kids.
