Stephen Gates

I’ve been in the advertising business almost my whole life. I am a designer and second generation creative director and an hour from now I will probably be locked away in my studio slowly going blind working on a new design or my blog. That has to be love or insanity and since it is advertising it is probably a bit of both.
