Product, Motion & Design
Hi, I’m Stephen and I am a designer and artist based in New York City. With a diverse range of skills and experiences, my work span across various disciplines and fields.
Previously, I was a Sr. Experience Designer at Adobe, a Product Designer at Euclid (acquired by WeWork), and a Sr. Designer at Lippincott.
I also worked with Facebook, Selman Design (Google), and Oliver Wyman as a freelance designer.
I am also part of a tattoo collective Yarrow Studio.
Simplicity and efficiency
I have an innate laziness and desire for things to just work, which drives me to constantly want to make complex and difficult things easy and efficient. I love finding ways to explain complicated things people understand and creating processes that cut out all of the unnecessary steps.
My most recent obsession has been creating a booking process for my tattoo clients that avoid the typically complicated scheduling or a lengthy in-take form experience.
Making moves
I have always been passionate about motion and animation. I believe any opportunity to make a product spark with interactions and movements breathe life into the experience.
My motion skills have also come in handy in creating prototypes and design documentations.
Order in chaos
Finding order in chaos has been a necessary thread in my career, rather it’s a branding project for a giant corporation with too many stakeholders, being a sole designer at a series-A start up, or being part of an R&D team at Adobe with an ever moving goals and visions.
I pride myself on being able to navigate the unknown, because a design process on the best day is, usually, a total shit show.
