A little about me

I'm Jack Stevenson, an Australian from the coastal haven of Jan Juc on Victoria’s Surf Coast. I have recently relocated to the United Kingdom to be closer to my wife’s family.

Growing up in a vibrant surf community, it was only natural for me to follow in my dad's footsteps and become a surfer and live a life connected to the ocean.

During my high school years, I found a passion for creative pursuits like painting and design. This led me to working as a designer and product developer at the global surf brand Quiksilver. From there I could see the fast paced trajectory of the digital landscape and was inspired by the endless possibilities so in my mid-twenties I pursued a Bachelor of Design in Digital Media Design and also obtained a Bachelor of Business in Marketing to bring traditional marketing practices into the digital realm.

Beyond work, surfing and the ocean bring me immense joy by helping me strike a balance between my personal and professional life.

I'm fortunate to have an amazing family. My daughter, Romi, and my wife, Hanna, who support me in my passion for the ocean and drive me towards my goals.
