About Josh Dudych
Josh is the Creative Director for True North Sports + Entertainment in Winnipeg, Manitoba – the leading entity in the professional sports and live entertainment spaces for the eastern prairies region, and parent company of the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club of the NHL. In his 10 years with the organization, he’s played a role in a wide range of design and branding work with True North’s in-house design team, and at times found himself wondering how – if time travel were possible – he could explain to his six-year old self how he ended up doing this work for a living. On the occasional times he finds himself away from a hockey rink, Josh enjoys travelling, over-processing images on his Instagram, tiny dogs, and good times.
