@stuwdesigner

At 21 years of age, living between London, New York and Brazil, Stuart created Latin America’s first GSM Mobile brand, Oi, earning them a place in The Guinness Book of Records for the fastest startup. Soon after, he left Wolff Olins and helped to build venturethree, a new kind of agency. Progressive, awkward, challenging. There he reinvented brands such as Sky, The Times, and Little Chef, earning two D&AD silvers, three D&AD In Books, and a 5-Star Brand New Award. He became the youngest partner at venturethree at the age of 28.

Fiercely independent, venturethree is now a global brand agency that partners with leading companies in creative transformation. v3 has helped to transform Sky, Penguin, King, XL, Little Chef, and is about to launch the biggest 4G brand in India, together with Reliance Industries.

As a creative director, Stuart is responsible for a small group of amazing designers creating Mass fantastic work. Great stuff for the many. Big, bold and beautiful. Why settle for anything less?

Stuart is a visiting professor at Nottingham Trent University and together with his wife Marina Willer are the first couple to speak at non consecutive Brand New Conferences.
