Hey I’m Jay Stephen - a Senior Designer and Art Director with a passion for telling emotive stories.

Whether through branding, strategy, experiential events, interiors, films or art direction, I work with brands to uncover who they are and bring their message to life in creative and impactful ways.

I began my career 13 years ago as a graphic designer, specialising in branding and translating narratives into retail and hospitality spaces. I then moved into brand strategy and art direction for the fashion, lifestyle and sports sectors. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of leading projects for globally renowned brands, guiding them from initial strategy workshops through to final implementation. This hands-on approach has equipped me with the skills to develop bold ideas and execute them with a high attention to detail across every touchpoint of the creative process.

For the past five years, I’ve worked as a freelance brand consultant, collaborating with leading brands while also helping to launch exciting new ones. No two days are the same — I might be directing a shoot, designing a restaurant, creating an event or illustrating a four-story mural.

I’m also one half of directing duo The Romantix. Our films include two spots in the award-winning Channel 4 Idents and Brown Brit; a short film that was broadcast on live TV and earned industry wide recognition including winning Silver at the Young Directors Award in Cannes.

I’m driven by a love for culture and a desire to create meaningful work that inspires change and makes a positive impact on society.

I’m always up for working with new clients or collaborating with other creatives, so get in touch if you’d like to work together!
