I’m a graphic designer living and working on Coast Salish territories on Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada. I work remotely and can travel easily to Victoria, Nanaimo and Vancouver.
I collaborate with agencies, organizations, curators and artists to create carefully crafted, insight-driven ideas for brands, places and culture. My work spans identities, campaigns, publications, environments and digital experiences. My practice is driven by an interest in visual communication, design systems, drawing and the relationship between image and text.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve worked with agencies (Burnkit, Vigilantes), in-house (lululemon, Arc’teryx) and independently as a freelance designer. I love being thrown into a team, but am also comfortable working independently to develop a range of approaches and deliver thoughtful work.
Alongside my design work, I maintain a dedicated studio practice and exhibit regularly. Most recently, I presented an interactive poster as part of Salt Spring Arts’ Digital Ecologies exhibition in 2026.
I’m currently looking for my next design opportunity, something I can really sink my teeth into. I’d love to hear from you! contact@brandonstephenson.ca.
