About
Steven is a creative practitioner working across design, photography, and art direction. He has also worked as a lecturer in Higher Education for over fifteen years.
His main interests lie in the convergence between visual / written communication and matters around sustainability and ecological issues. A keen collaborator, he has worked with a wide range of practitioners – from geographers to illustrators to sculptors to biologists.
He has always worked predominantly with not-for-profit organisations, community groups and academic institutions. Clients have included the NHS, Big Issue, University of Exeter, UWE Digital Futures, Plymouth University Press, the Institute of Photography at Falmouth University and The British Council.
He was part of team that was awarded an Arts & Humanities Research Council︎︎ grant for a collaborative project about repair culture in the South West. The project culminated in a two-day symposium at Reed Hall in Exeter and the publication of a book entitled Visible Mending︎︎(Uniformbooks).
And in 2022, frustrated by the scant availability of fossil-free-fuels for vans, Steve set up a Community Interest Company called Other Oil︎︎.It’s aim is to promote and provide HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), a 100% fossil-free fuel which can be used as a drop-in replacement for regular diesel.
