Know Me More
Hi, I'm Lee Craig Stewart
Always fuelled by a passion for designing compelling assets. I create bespoke digital and visual content through typography, imagery and layout for clients. Designing logos, websites and other media for branding, marketing and user experience purposes.
I enjoy meeting new people, expanding my existing professional network and accompanying existing graphic design projects.
"Design is my passion. While some people are happy with the finished article, I love to see how something is made. How it's shaped and formed. Which I find fascinating. At the heart of all of that is design".
