My Story

I’m Stephen (林彥佑). It started with a camera in my hands as a kid, now I create digital work that tells stories.

About me

(1 of 5)

Photography pulled me in as a kid in Taiwan. That grew into understanding how visuals communicate, which led to graphic design, video, and eventually joining companies where I do these professionally.

Now I'm working through a Business Management degree. Understanding how brands operate behind the scenes makes designing for them sharper.

The work

(3 of 5)

During my placement at Sent Into Space, I spent a year creating pitch decks for clients like Disney and Microsoft. I am still there as Branding and Creative Executive, and ran branding and marketing for an engineering startup in Sheffield until 2026.

The last 18 months have been the steepest learning curve of my career so far.

How I Work

(4 of 5)

I'm obsessed with backstories and hidden details. The concept of an Easter egg, like those secrets Marvel used to plant in every film. I want my work to have layers that reward people who look closer.

I look for the balance between clean and memorable. Minimalist enough to breathe, detailed enough to notice. Work that feels professional but has enough personality that people actually remember it.
