A BIT ABOUT ME
I'm a dad, husband, freelance creative director, Lego Master Builder™, brand designer and pun-loving fan of a galaxy far, far away.
I’ve been a graphic designer since 2010. I focus on helping businesses say what they mean with attractive, effective design.
As a freelance creative director and brand designer, I specialize in logo design, strong visual identities, intuitive UI, art direction and other strategic graphic design that will make a positive difference for your business.
If you need your brand to be clear, timeless, and built to last, we should talk.
Let’s get your brand right.
SOME NICE WORDS:
”It was a genuine pleasure to have Stephen join us at Partner, where he quickly proved himself as an outstanding designer on numerous projects. During his six-month contract, he handled a wide array of tasks under the guidance of our Creative Director. 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.
Leaving a lasting positive impact at Partner, Stephen is a dedicated and immensely talented professional. I'm confident our paths will cross again. Any team would be immensely lucky to have his expertise and spirit onboard.

Stéphane FournierCreative Director
”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.
Gabriel VillablancaVP, Marketing
”Stephen and I worked together at MEC, 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.
Dianne SemarkCreative Director
”Stephen joined the Canucks Brand & Creative team in 2011 as part of our Student Associate program. He is hungry to learn, and has the capaciity to pull back and see the big picture. Stephen is plugged into pop culture and brings a constant barrage of influences and references. He brought some strong, fresh ideas to our social media campaign during the Canucks 2011 Playoff run.
