You deserve a brand that works as hard as you do.

Fractional creative direction and brand design for agencies and brands scaling from 1MM ARR to 10MM ARR.

Is your brand hard at work or hardly working?

Let's put your brand into gear. With the right direction, we can transform your brand from an idle passenger to the engine driving your business.
I've been designing new brands and fixing up old ones for 15 years; in fact, brands are my favourite thing to repair. We can start new. We can refresh something old, or we can shift you back into gear if you've been stuck sputtering in neutral.

It was a genuine pleasure to have Stephen join us at Partner, where he quickly proved himself as an outstanding designer on numerous projects. His client-facing abilities shone brightly—Stephen was instrumental in steering clients through the journey of ideation, decision-making, and iteration for their brands, packaging, and websites.

Stephen's blend of design acumen, patience, and amiable nature, coupled with his remarkable communication skills (and an endless supply of puns), made him a delightful and effective member of our team.

Stephen and I worked together at Mountain Equipment Company, where he quickly demonstrated his skills and adaptability within the Communications and Marketing team. He was able to incorporate all the MEC and partner branding and campaign objectives to emails, web and social assets, in-store and event signage, to name a few. He was an immense help to the creative team, doing both design and production work on multiple projects—and his positive, can-do attitude made him a pleasure to work with.

Stephen is not only an exceptionally talented designer, but he's a joy to have as part of your team. I look forward to the next opportunity we have to work together.

I worked with Stephen while at Better Plant Sciences, and honestly loved everything about working with him! Not only was he a great designer with an eye for great design that helps a brand stand out and be appealing to customers, but he was also an extreme professional who attacked everything with passion and positivity. I would work with Stephen any day of the week and recommend him highly to anyone else who is looking to work with him.

I had the pleasure of working with Stephen as a contract designer. His positive attitude and problem-solving skills greatly enhanced not only our project's success but also our company culture. I recommend him for any team seeking a skilled and uplifting designer.
