In my own words

Stephen

“Why fit in when you were meant to stand out?” I am a passionate, innovative and opportunity-seeking designer that thrives working in ever-changing and collaborative environments.

I have been in the industry for over 15 years with experience as an, apparel and graphic designer with consistent focus on action sports apparel and accessories.

I have had the opportunity to work with factories both domestically and overseas specializing in complete package design for apparel, graphics and accessories. My strategic line planning and original design approach were key contributions to the success of apparel programs for Hinano Tahiti men’s line, Liquid Force men’s and women’s lines and more recently to the Brad Paisley graphic apparel line for Boot Barn. I have obtained diverse exposure and understanding of this market and am excited at the opportunity to work in an environment that is on the leading edge of adventure, creative and design.

In addition to my work experience, my outdoor waterman lifestyle as a competitive outrigger and SUP racing athlete would be a great fit for most design teams. I appreciate and live a life of adventure, exploration and team work and am looking for the same in the working environment.

Best regards, Stephen Caldwell 949.463.9169
