Rich Armstrong

Hey! I’m a multi-hyphenate artist who’s authored books, spoken at conferences, and taught thousands of students online. I simply love creating—no mater if it’s painting murals, illustrating NFTs on Adobe Live, coding websites, or designing merch. My art is bold and colourful and draws inspiration from childhood fantasies. I have ADHD but am not defined by it, dance terribly, and can touch my nose with my tongue.HistoryI’ve studied multimedia design and graphic design. I’ve taught myself how to code. I've freelanced, worked for agencies and startups, and run my own product design studio. I’m a published author and a full-time artist. I used to go by the name TapTapKaboom—that’s now a separate thing teaching people how to make websites.Seeing what you create and how you change your life because of what I teach makes me warm and fuzzy. So, thank you! Please keep on sharing your work, reviews and stories.PhilosophyAt the core of my creation philosophy is play and experimentation. I love learning and don’t mind being wrong. I’m an advocate for pursuing big dreams by taking small, intentional and often repetitive steps. Don’t have a big dream? Then I advise play and experimentation—be curious, and try it all.
