Thanks for all the love ❤️
Well... I didn’t expect to be job searching this summer, especially with a baby boy on the way this fall. A recent company restructuring means I’m looking for my next creative leadership opportunity. Over the last several years, I’ve led creative teams across gaming, esports, healthcare, and consumer brands. I’ve built brand systems, campaigns, content, events, and experiences that connect business goals with strong creative execution. What I’m most proud of isn’t just the work. It’s the teams I’ve helped build, mentor, and empower along the way. Helping talented creatives do their best work while steering the ship toward business objectives has always been my favorite part of the job. If you’re looking for a Creative Director, Design Director, or senior creative leader who can balance strategy, execution, and people leadership, I’d love to connect. A share or introduction would mean a lot 🤝

One of the best Creative Director mentors I have had the privilege of learning from. He has taught me countless lessons about the esports design industry, from creative strategy and leadership to execution and team development. He is exactly the kind of leader you want in an organization: someone who can successfully balance vision, strategy, execution, and people management while consistently elevating the quality of work around him. I would highly recommend him for any Creative Director, Design Director, or senior creative leadership role.

Stephen is an incredible creative and knows how to put together and lead teams. Couldn’t recommend him enough between his professionalism, knowledge, and care for building a brand or elevating established ones already. 🫡

Big career move: I switched industries 😅 I’m stepping away from the esports/gaming chapter I’ve been in for the last 10 years. That chapter gave me reps I’ll carry forever: building brands under pressure, leading teams, and telling stories that actually land. Now I’m bringing that energy into a new role at Genworth/CareScout, working on brand creative leadership. New industry, same obsession: make the work human, clear, and impactful. P.S. I'll be posting more regularly here as well as my LinkedIn!

The Lesion — @Spacestation Gaming SSG FULL KIT ‘23 Breakdown is now live on Behance. Designed as a bridge between competitive esports identity and grounded tactical realism, this full kit reimagines Lesion through the lens of Spacestation Gaming. This project was developed by Spacestation Gaming’s in-house creative team — @stephenhalphen & @Artixcus, in collaboration with the Nebula team and the Ubisoft Rainbow Six Siege Esports program. #GameArt #GameDesign #3DArt #CharacterDesign

I’ve noticed many of my colleagues leaving the industry. For me, it’s all about finding stability and keeping that same drive and passion in a different field.

Boston trip with my wife has been such a good mental reset! Got to go on the field at Fenway, visited many museums, discovered speakeasies, and saw the Celtics almost win. What a beautiful city!
