About us

Theresa Stone

Founder, creative director, project lead + UX strategist

Theresa Stone began Monster in 1998 with the vision of an agency where smart business strategy aligns with creative expression. That vision has proven worthy, as Theresa and her team have designed and implemented award-winning creative for countless clients who continue to come back for more. Her unending passion for finding the best solution drove her to obtain a master’s degree in digital media in 2012 from the University of Washington. Born and raised in Seattle, Theresa understands what a special place this city is. She and her husband, a Seattle firefighter, are committed to be part of this community and both serve on boards for local foundations.

Theresa’s nearly 30 years of experience spans countless industries, including technology, healthcare, retail, consumer products, professional services, food and wine, education, nonprofit, and community projects. She also brings the perspective of a successful retailer, having co-founded a kids’ clothing line called MeGiant, which she built and took nationwide before selling so Theresa could focus all of her attention on Monster Design.

Her commitment to bringing real-world understanding and results-driven perspective to clients who seek deeper relationships with their customers is the foundation for Monster’s approach—and its success.

When she’s not developing elegant solutions and powerful marketing engagements, Theresa wrangles three crazy kids and two fat bulldogs. She is on the board of the Daughters’ Guild, coaches both soccer and basketball, fits in travel where she can…and through it all manages to hold her title as the 5am weirdo at the gym.
