Stan Holden has been a commercial creative director, graphic designer, and cartoonist for most of his career, working professionally even before graduating high school. His art was first published in a national magazine at the age of twelve.

Eventually the niche market of creating internal marketing, human resources design, and employee moral campaigns for many Fortune 100 companies, such as Disney, Pioneer Electronics, Toshiba, IBM, and Apple became Stan’s specialty.

His vehicle for making otherwise boring 401k and health benefits information inviting, exciting, and palatable to employees was a unique and sometimes wacky style called Whimsical Design (a cross between cartooning, illustration, and design). Stan’s work has been inducted into theMuseum of Radio and Television, and his work for Apple has been projected sixty feet tall onto the sides of the Mayan Pyramids in Marché Pêche, Peru, and the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

The process of creating and producing communication designs for the employee base of these companies allowed Stan to hone and perfect the skill of communicating in a fun and friendly way with both large groups of people and individuals. Today, Stan sits atop a worldwide sales network of hundreds of thousands of people, which includes many celebrities and two Philippine presidents.

Through his journey, Stan has been on the PBS TV show The American Health Journal, has had his screenplay Rebel Without A Claus recommended by Disney, has been featured in several Chicken Soup for the Soul editions. His first book, Giving Candy To Strangers, is a critically acclaimed best seller.

Stan lives in Southern California and is working on his next book Don’t Lie Down In The Aisle; A Playbook For Exuberant Resilience.
