Who's This Stone Guy?

Hello friend, acquaintance and/or stranger... my name is Stone Rhodes (believe it or not, that is my actual name) and I’m so glad you've made it this far!

I am a 23 year old  from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. I attended Miami University of Ohio and receieved my B.A. in Emerging Tech: Business & Design degree, along with a Fashion Business degree as well. I also just wrapped up an awesome UX/UI internship experience with a content production company named Beige Cashmere.

Hopefully you can tell that I am a design junky, but when my mind needs to take a break from creativity, I love to keep myself in shape by playing some basketball, and  I definitely can’t forget about my addiction to fashion!

My Excruciatingly Long Career Experience (lol)

My design path throughout the past few years has taken me for quite a ride. I originally began my journey at Miami undeclared, and most of my beginning classes were focused on fine arts. This helped me acquire considerable design knowledge as I dealt with numerous forms of art and the experience of using a variety of mediums.

As I got more comfortable within the college atmosphere, I knew I wanted to focus on more UI/UX design, which is why I decided to receive my degree in Emerging Tech. This began my passionate journey into the virtual world.

During my senior year at Miami, I was an Assistant Creative Director for Beige Cashmere, which is a L.A. based content production company. I was able to work with other people, both remote as well as face to face on multiple projects involving graphic design, social media marketing, project management, and most importantly, UI/UX research & design. Both my path and this opportunity proved to me one thing... I want to be a part of the digital future.
