He blends innovation with practicality and an unswerving focus on results. Stefan’s experience is in the visual arts and many aspects of design. He excels at all elements of the creative process and has a multifaceted approach to design. As a professional, he works every day to forge profound links between organizations and their audiences through clear, creative, effective and well-managed designs and strategies.

My love for fine art and my interest in pop culture is longstanding. Growing up with a fascination for the visual arts and discovering commercial art while studying fine arts at university made me realize that becoming a designer was my true purpose. Design is part of me. It is what I am most passionate about.
I’m a designer because I find value in what I do. Design is a balance between problem-solving, strategy, logic and creativity. This makes design a profession with endless possibilities. I am constantly innovating, learning and exploring new ideas. Experimenting with different forms of design, I’ve been fortunate to work on several types of projects in a variety of media.
Art and design is a big part of my life, and one can’t come without the other. I am grateful that I can work in this field.
