Design is all about ideas and connections. 

Sharing ideas helps to see things from different points of view. Working together, looking at things from different perspectives, creating new opportunities.

Before founding DV8 (now ID8) Creative, 30 years ago, Stephen worked as a glass artist. Working with architects and tradespeople, using his skills to carve and etch glass to bring fresh ideas to a project. “Sharing ideas and collaborating with other specialists is the best part of the creative process. Letting everybody shine.”

Nowadays most projects – including brand and graphic identity, print and packaging, web and digital media – follow a similar path. While mainly managing small projects on his own, he is always on the lookout for an opportunity to work with a team of talented people with diverse skills, who love ideas, and excel in their fields.

“Ideas are fun, and there is a huge amount of satisfaction in bringing them to any project in order to achieve the best results.”
