I'm Stephen Dawson, a designer with 8 years' experience—and I’m here to craft beloved products.

I design so I can...

Absorb

I take in what’s around me, creating a deep well of empathy

Decode

I get a kick from grasping complexity and examining opportunity

Create

I want to light imaginations in the room with possibility

Background

Before I set foot into the design world, I had already created an appreciation for being in a position to create and help install change. To get into this position, my path demanded self esteem, conviction, and quality of impact. I learned from my surroundings and my interest for well designed objects and experiences. This has helped me to bring purpose and direction to my craft. I’m proud of where I am today and I don’t take my position for granted.
