The career of a pilot is undeniably under constant assault for a myriad of reasons. Flight deck crewmembers may lose their authority to exercise the privileges of their Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pilot’s license for medical reasons, driving under the influence, intentional or unintentional Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR’s) violations, and so on. In some cases, the FAA may simply decide that a pilot should have his or her license either suspended or revoked for the violation of FAR 91.13: Careless or reckless operation. For these and other economic reasons, a professional pilot should always have a career plan B.

Steve believes his job is not to preach to clients about what his role is but to learn as much as possible about you, your company and your business model. That way the resulting creative work you pay me to do is based on informed attributes rather than desires to make pretty shapes.
There is no need for mystery, barriers or illusions between designer and client. A project starts with a discussion which, in theory, should never end. Ultimately, for Steve, it is about working with people who are equally passionate, driven and brilliant at what they do.
Steve once said that ‘Just as behind every man there is a great woman, so too is a great idea behind every design.’ (he wasn’t drunk).
Every project is different and is approached with a blank page, a sharpened pencil and begins with
a discussion.
I have spent the last ten years building not just a design consultancy, but a network of passionate, creative and innovative peers across all media. The industry that we work in has evolved and very rarely do you find one agency that has all the relevant skills that is so often required for most projects. Those that say they do, are either lying, or not lying; mostly lying though.
