Stu is a Designer based in
Silicon Valley, California.

I run my own design studio where I collaborate with companies big and small, cultural and commercial.

I design at Meta's Superintelligence Lab, working on the future of multimodal AI interfaces. I joined Meta through the acquisition of PlayAI. (July 2025)

Most recently, I led Design at PlayAI, crafting LLM-native voice experiences. (YC W23)

Additionally, I curate streams on contemporary culture with JPEG. Join the newsletter here. (free)
