ALL THE NINJA TURTLES
HEY THERE,
I’m JD Stone, an Executive Creative Director, with over 20 years of experience, I blend cultural anthropology, visual design, and user-centric experiences to craft compelling brand identities, experiences, and marketing strategies. I've led creative initiatives for diverse organizations including the Los Angeles Department of Public Health, California Dept. of Managed Health Care, the Los Angeles City Legacy Business Program, Google, NASA, Virtual Clinical Trials, and various consumer brands. My expertise spans illustration, product development, creative direction, branding, and marketing, all aimed at driving engagement and growth for businesses.
My philosophy is that good design should be for everyone. I thrive on creating approachable, ADA-compliant designs that highlight representation and inclusivity across all ranges of diversity. I am passionate about collaborative problem-solving, igniting inspiration, and empowering my team with a crystal-clear vision to ensure we deliver top-quality work. Continuous improvement and pushing boundaries are key to my process, driving pride and high-quality results.
My work spans pioneering virtual clinical trials with Science 37 and Medidata, contributing to impactful public health campaigns, and collaborating with global tech leaders. Each project is an opportunity to make a real impact, crafting campaigns that resonate on a personal level and tell individual stories with flair and passion.
