Stephen Taylor Email & Phone Number | Graduating from Kingston University in 1990, Stephen has worked within the design industry ever since, founding Heat in 1999, where he’s director and creative lead. Following his passion for record sleeve design, Stephen’s initial post was at AREA. The small, multi-award-winning design studio had an enviable client list: Depeche Mode, ABC, OMD, John Galliano, Koji Tatsuno to name but a handful. “It was the dream start really, working on your favourite bands’ record covers and fashion design print pieces. Then on top of that you work with amazing photographers such as Anton Corbijn and Trevor Key.” Next, Stephen worked at Williams & Phoa, with clients like Phaidon, Warburgs, European Bank and Siemens. He was there three years – which equated to six in design hours – this culminated in a D&AD Silver Award win, and with it of course, that much-coveted Yellow Pencil for the mantelpiece. Stephen then joined Torch Design as senior designer, going on to win the Consort Royal Graphic Design & Print Award (the company’s first design gong, and the much-coveted Gold, no less). Finally, in 1996 he joined Smith & Milton, another award-winning agency. There he worked on multiple branding projects, such as Asprey, PPP Healthcare, NatWest and John Dickinson. Stephen originally co-founded Heat Design with Tiago Figueiredo, who at the time was working with John McConnell at Pentagram. Tiago relocated to Brazil in 2002; Stephen remained to continue running Heat. Firmly believing design can solve any problem, Stephen’s clients have been won through his love of the craft. His real skill is listening, then interpreting their communication requirements intelligently – before applying the relevant creativity. He’s passionate that design be integrated with content, or words; the two elements have to work in complete harmony. Stephen lectures graphic design at Kingston University and is also a governor of his local Primary School.
