Background

About John Stichnoth

I am a design director / senior art director with over 26 years of experience in creating strategic concepts, art direction, and graphic design for advertising, branding, and marketing of product or service communications. I have a BA and a BFA in Graphic Design and Printmaking from Drake University, and I am proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud and other applications. I have successfully led and executed multiple projects for clients such as John Deere, Corbion, Cornerstones of Care, and Caterpillar, delivering high-quality results that met or exceeded their expectations and goals. I have also managed and collaborated with cross-functional teams, staff, and partners, and I have demonstrated entrepreneurial skills in Stickman LLC, as an agency owner at Farmers Insurance, and Brand Gear. I am attentive to detail, organization, budget, and deadline, and I am comfortable with written and verbal communication and presentation. My mission is to bring stories to life through visual storytelling and communication, and to help clients achieve their vision and exceed their objectives. I can admit it when an idea works better than mine. I give one hundred percent to every project, large or small, and I am willing to help whenever, wherever, and however necessary. I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and I am open to both in-person and remote collaboration.
