Passionate about empowerment
Stephen started as an installation artist before being formally trained in industrial design. His current creative venture includes all things climate-tech and scaling digital-products. He has a soft spot for the marginalised and believes that design can affect that inclusion. Passionate about listening to people's motivations, Stephen hopes to create a safe space for everyone to be heard.
