Amy Stone

Amy didn't expect to become a website designer. Minutes after receiving her B.F.A. in Communication Design from Otis College of Art and Design (née Otis Art Institute of the Parsons School of Design), she began working as a staff writer, photographer and editor for a top publishing company in Los Angeles. "At the time, design wasn't grabbing me," she says. "Then the Web came along and everything changed."

Today, the role of website designer allows Amy to be both artist and architect. While deriving immense enjoyment from designing the "virtual space," she takes just as much pride and satisfaction in the process of making the space functional. But the best part by far is creating a unique entity that's capable of growing, changing, and evolving over time.

What Amy finds most rewarding—professionally, as well as personally—is the opportunity to produce quality work for clients who love what they do, and who equally value the substance of life. That, combined with helping to round out a team of dynamic, self-motivated, intelligent women who enjoy their lives and their work, make her role at iacunato/mclane a perfect fit.

Amy reluctantly admits to several unusual talents and interests: She can imitate Donald Duck (a genetic predisposition), disable any electronic device—big or small, from elevator to EKG—simply by being in close vicinity (though never on purpose), and is fascinated by the effects of a microwave oven (preferably someone else's) on small inanimate objects and foods.

 "My husband has had—and continues to have—the greatest impact on my life, because he encourages me in every way to be the person I want to be, and the best person I can be. He is my best friend and my conscience, and when I'm with him, I like who I am." "Color... that's my passion. I think it's my native tongue—and it's definitely my driving force." "Movie is Fellini's 8 1/2, because complexity is best conveyed by simplicity. Favorite actor is Peter O'Toole (c'mon, The Lion in Winter!). Favorite book is Saul Bellow's Henderson the Rain King, because the meaning of life is found in the journey. Authors are Bud Shulberg, Joan Didion, Kurt Vonnegut and Ray Bradbury because they sweep me up and never let me fall. Love Pink Floyd (The Wall!) TV shows... I Love Lucy, Get Smart and The Addams Family—because I'm still laughing." "Mediocrity and paper cuts." "I'd be a window designer for Bergdorf Goodman. I would love the challenge—and the pressure—of designing and constructing mesmerizingly unique scenes in relatively small spaces for the sole purpose of high fashion and haute couture. What wouldn't I want to do? Cartography, because there's no room for exaggeration."
