Hello@stephaniejade.co.uk
www.stephaniejade.co.uk


I’m a senior multidisciplinary designer with 7 years of experience working across graphic design, illustration, motion and art direction. I’ve worked on both Agency and Brand sides (perm and freelance), partnering with global brands and creative teams to deliver thoughtful, visually expressive work across digital, print, brand, and experiential projects for both B2B and B2C clients. My practice is driven by strong ideas, good craft, and design that feels human, tactile and intentional, but still a little out of the box.
