About Brutally Human
INTRODUCTION
Hi, I am Stanley!
I am a designer and educator. For the past 19 years, I‘ve been collaborating with the world's most impactful companies to empower founding teams to deliver exceptional product designs and guide business leaders in crafting inspiring brands.
When I am not busy teaching I can be found either in the airport traveling to my next destination or obsessively working on my initiatives Sentinotes, NoShelter, or BeCurious - a closed-door innovation studio.
I am available for collaborative design projects, speaking engagements, and private workshops. I offer both independent and integrated services within your organization. For big projects, I bring my A-team.
I design under the name of Brutally Human.
WHY SUCH WEIRD NAME?
The name Brutally Human reflects my direct, no-nonsense approach to creativity. I believe brutal honesty sparks progress. Yet, I also recognize the human element in all creations—full of flaws, inspirations, and egos. At all times, we must remember that our work impacts other humans.
NON NEGOTIABLES
As I evolve I attune more and more to my inner voice. Through the years this compass has guided me to the top of my game and helped pull me out of the depths of mental hell. I’ve learned to trust it. Some of the things it tells me not to do, so I won’t:
Sacrifice personal health, allow negativity into my space, listen to bystanders who have no skin in the game, jeopardize my artistic integrity for profit, work with companies that only care about cash flow, and collaborate with folks who are racist, ageist, and sexist.
