Howdy!

My name is Stephen Pickens. I'm a creative director and designer who helps food, beverage, and CPG brands sharpen their visual story and show up better on shelf, online, and everywhere in between.

Brand identity, packaging, launch campaigns, emails, paid and organic social, retail and POS; I’m game for it all. If you’re building (or have built) something cool and are looking for a creative hand, brain, or top-notch stick-figure drawing, let’s chat.

Outside of work, you’ll find me swimming, attempting CrossFit, enjoying long (or short) walks on the beach, and fulfilling my responsibility to keep local taco shops in business through regular patronage.

Located in San Diego, CA.

Available for project-based work, longer-term partnerships, and full-time roles.
