We are

A specialized creative agency for science and technology clients. We are a creative group of industry professionals with experience in engineering, biotechnology, design and film who want to help support great missions and partner with bright organizations to tell a compelling story.

Our Principles

Be audience-centered

The most important group of people is the audience—clients, patients, investors and other benefactors. We believe our success happens when we create something that resonates with our clients’ audience and elevates their brand.

Be good people

Be respectful, honest and polite. Think about the consequences of your actions. Choose upholding a civilized society over a personal comfort. You know, those things we all teach our kids to do.

Maintain a growth mindset

Being stagnant is a no-go. Keep improving. Stay positive and remember that you may not be there yet—but you showed up and you’re working on it.

About our founder

JD Frey is a 20-year veteran creative director, animator, and videographer who loves science. Want to talk cameras and CRISPR or video and VLSI? He’s your guy. As a creative director, he noticed that world-class science institutes and emerging technology companies were not well supported by creative agencies. Even when agencies had good intentions, they didn’t get the science well enough to create the best story of discovery or highlight the importance of technology. Watching amazing discoveries presented with less finesse than a shoe launch caused him to take the matter into his own hands. He founded Qodon to bring professional design, animation, and cinema-quality creative video to science and technology organizations. He is fortunate to lead a remote group of like-minded creatives and on-demand industry professionals to form a purpose-built team for each project.
