Hello, and thanks so much for your time!

No really... I truly appreciate your time in learning about me and what I could potentially bring to the table for your business, so first off, let me introduce myself, my name is John Stokes. Born and raised in San Diego - calling East County my home for 98% of my life. I’m happily married to the love of my life and we have a wonderful daughter who is our pride and joy. There is so much more to me... but let’s get down to why you are reading this!

Is it strange to you that I get excited thinking about design? I hope not... but I have always been into colors, typography, layout, brand identity, digital mediums, promotion, social channels... and that’s why I have decided to make my career as a creative. A designer by title, but so much more to bring to the table, I am a highly motivated worker with multiple skill sets, I have a super positive attitude, and bring creativity to the surface of any project that is put in my path.

I have worked for, not only some of the best casinos outside of Las Vegas as a Senior Graphic Designer for 17+ years (my main day job), but have also worked with some of the worlds largest designer art toy brands creating products to self-promote myself as an independent artist and to build my company brand while doing so on a global scale through most all social media channels for SpankyStokes.com (designer toy news outlet).

The combination of my technical skills, artistic eye, and, more importantly, my ability to execute projects quickly and professionally would enable me to become a valuable member of any business or organization.
