Hi, I’m Steve. Born and raised in Sunderland, living in County Durham with my two labradors, my partner, Louise and our daughter Lucy. Other than the aforementioned loves of my life, I love music, cinema, food, computer games, interior design and football.
This is what I do…
I am a versatile and seasoned designer with expertise in app design, web design, branding design, and motion design.
With 18 years of experience, I’ve worked with clients ranging from startups to established agencies, developing a strong understanding of both creative and strategic design elements. My skills span multiple platforms and media, allowing me to create engaging digital experiences, cohesive brand identities, and impactful motion graphics that effectively convey clients’ messages. My adaptability and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments have been central to delivering innovative solutions that achieve both creative and business objectives.

BEARPARK CABIN
beaurepaire
I work out of a purpose built “cabin” at the bottom of my garden, I call the Bearpark Cabin.
It’s basically a shed I’ve modified into a creative space with a desk setup, wood burner and home for my record collection. I did the majority of the work myself (minus electrics and fitting my log burner) and spent many months building a wooden deck to place the shed, then more time insulating and making it waterproof, laying flooring and tiling.
It’s my little retreat, a place to switch off from everything else and just get into the zone. Whether I’m working on something, thinking things through, or just chilling out with some music, it’s where I go to reset and make stuff happen.
