STONE IS A creative UNCOMMON

Stone is an independent creative studio born in branding. We work with both large, established brands and emerging, challenger start-ups. For every project, our approach is based on the following beliefs: There’s power in asking the right questions. Storytelling connects people to ideas. And good design means good business.

our Culture

We’re a close-knit team with far-flung backgrounds. We are open and honest because we all want to get to the best work. We value curiosity, hot takes, hot sauce and the confidence to go wherever our questions take us.
Great Not Good
Positivity creates opportunity; pessimism kills it. We are optimistic about the future, and in turn, promote creativity and new ideas.
WE’RE FOR BRAVE BRANDS
Our best work is with brands who want to challenge conventions and push past surface-level solutions. That takes trust, honesty and the freedom to fail. We may break briefs — but never people or the relationship we’ve built together.
GREAT WORK HAS TO WORK.
We like pretty pictures and are proud of our portfolio. But we love solving problems through design. Our biggest reward is seeing real results and the positive reactions from your consumers.
BIG ENOUGH TO MAKE AN IMPACT.
SMALL ENOUGH TO PAY ATTENTION.
We bring the experience of a global practice and the agility of a small studio. We work directly with you as co-creators, with the ability to flex and stretch our approach to fit the challenge.
