Noah Stokes®

I am an engineer by training and a designer by practice. I live in California with my wife and three sons. I love music, surf, design & code. I’m interested in using technology to bring health, help or hope to those who need it.

About Noah

I’ve been incredibly lucky to stumble into this career—much of it has been through a network of talented friends and peers that have brought opportunities my way. For them, I am grateful.

Speaking of networking...

I love connecting with others in this space. I’m particularly fond of working with early-stage designers who are looking to grow their career. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can be of service to you in any way. If you want to dive right in, you can grab some time on my Calendly.

Footnotes

↳1You can follow me on Mastodon too!
↳2I’m interested in new speaking opportunities. Topics I’m interested in speaking about: building out a design org, designing for both physical and digital environments and leadership qualities that all teams need. If you have an opportunity you think I’d be a good fit for, please reach out.
↳3Bold was a full-service design and development studio. We built everything from websites to apps and everything in between. We ran for 6 years with 5 employees, growing 100% YoY in the first few years. Few things were more valuable in my professional experience than that of running my own studio.
