About
Hi 👋, I’m Steve a Senior Product Designer, originally from Scotland 🏴. I'm currently working in Web 3.0 for Synthetix. Previously I was an Interaction designer at Halopowered.
My creative inspiration comes from a sense of place. I’ve lived and worked in many of the world’s biggest and best cities. Beginning in the East End of London, I was surrounded by many cultures, colors, and sounds. After moving state-side, I called the vibrant and quirky Venice Beach home. And later, New York City and San Francisco’s inspiring architecture, art/music, and residents further developed my perspective on modern life.
When I’m not working on UX/UI projects, I explore my passion for illustration & typography. I have honed my design skills in study and in practice with over 15 years of experience and have obtained certifications in design & typography.
