Hi there, I'm Stephen.

Designer and Facilitator

I love helping others do amazing work through design and problem solving facilitation to bring their passion and ideas to life.

With years of experience designing digital solutions companies, I would love to know how I can help you solve your problems to move forward with confidence.

The why

I started Studio Motive to help guide people through their challenges in order to empower them to take charge of taking actions and working better together with people to bring their ideas to life.
‍
With over a decade of experience working with talented people in various industries, that want to do great work I have personally encountered many common blockers to creativity and taking action. Endless meetings, discussions, poor collaboration or lack of direction prevented people from doing their best work and bringing their ideas to life.

The how

1. Evaluate needs

We first touch base to understand your businesses goals, needs, and what I can do to help you achieve these items.

2. Organise content

We then talk though the details of your project to understand what is important to do for your to have the best possible outcome.

3. Bring your Idea to life

I then work with you to plan and bring your ideas to life using tools and methodologies to visualise and deliver outcomes you want.

4. Handover

After completing the service I will work with you to tidy up everything to ensure you are able to do what you need without me. We will also be able to discuss further help should you need it.

Core Values

Collaboration

I believe different perspectives bring a lot to the table when solving problems and effective collaborative efforts go a long way.

Be human

We all make mistakes and have our own perspectives. My approach utilises the ability to bring out creativity and fairness in collaboration.

Work with Respect and kindness

I want people known they're seen and heard so they are comfortable speaking up, sharing their thoughts, and working with others.

Trust

It's important when collaborating to trust each party to enable everyone to do the right thing, or even to attempt the right thing. It's a key foundation of any EFFECTIVE working relationship.

Honesty

No fluff here, if something cant be done, it'll be said and I'll even recommend you to someone who can help you! No one benefits from fibs. Honest cuts through the bullshit and helps everyone focus on making progress.

Moving a project forward can be tough.

By running energising, expertly-guided workshops and Design Sprints, your team and stakeholders can do make better decisions within days, NOT months.

Ask about Workshops

Create exciting new products and services in days not months!

Tackle complex problems with clarity and confidence.

Revitalize collaboration and untangle difficult group dynamics.
