Brand design for products worth believing in

I help founders turn great products into brands people recognize and trust. From naming and positioning through packaging, identity, and launch.

Let's talk about your brand

Great products deserve great brands

If you've built something worth believing in, like a product that improves people's lives, it deserves a brand that matches its quality.
I've spent 15+ years designing brands for food, lifestyle, and consumer product companies. I don't just make things look good. I help you clarify what makes you different, then bring that to life visually—naming and positioning through packaging, identity, and everything you need to launch or scale.
I work with founders who care about impact, not just revenue. Who want strategic thinking and beautiful execution. Who need a brand that works as hard as they do.

What I do:

Brand naming and positioning
Visual identity and packaging design
Brand strategy and differentiation
Launch and rebrand execution

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.

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.
