Hi, I’m Stephen. I’m a design leader based in Austin, TX, with over a decade of experience building brand systems and campaigns for freelance clients and some of the best brands out there. I’ve helped optimize design processes, guide growing teams, and solve complex visual challenges across tech and lifestyle brands.

I believe in understanding the brief before touching a canvas, open collaboration across disciplines, and guiding teams to be strategic and thoughtful about the problems they’re solving. The tools may change, but the principles of good design remain the same.

In my everyday life, you’ll find me looking for any excuse to buy another guitar, making sawdust in my garage, and losing my mind anytime the Pittsburgh Penguins play hockey.
