About the speaker

Stephen Doyle

Creative director, artist

Stephen Doyle leads a double life: by day, he runs a much-lauded design firm; but after-hours, he is the maker of radically inventive art. He is the creative director of Doyle Partners, a New York City studio that creates graphics, environmental installations and animations for a global roster of clients, while his artworks have been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Wired, Vanity Fair and other publications.
