Hello. I’m Steven, a Creative Director and Design Strategist who lives for storytelling and for building experiences that last. I frame vision, guide teams, and shape narratives that resonate.

Born in Yorkshire with Scottish roots, I’m now based in Harrogate with my wife and daughter. Outside work I run, cycle, cook, travel, and create films through my independent production brand, Wayside Trinity, where I write, produce, and direct.

I believe creative leadership is more than ideas. It is about uniting people around them. I seek out new experiences and perspectives across cultures, disciplines, and communities because they fuel stronger storytelling and bolder work.

Artists that helped inspire/shape me; F. Scott Fitzgerald, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Jony Ive, Richard Curtis, Otis Redding, Amy Winehouse, Paul Thomas Anderson, Wes Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, David Bowie and many more.
