My name is Stefan Hajek. I’m a creative director and producer, located in the Pacific Northwest. I bring to the game an extensive background in independent film and commercial video, as well as a vast portfolio of digital and print design work. I’m a storyteller at heart, and I breathe that into all my creative endeavors.
CREATIVE DIRECTION
In addition to leading design + development teams on massive print and digital campaigns for years, I’ve worked for over a decade in front of + behind the camera as actor, producer, director, + editor, providing a unique insight into capturing picture + performance, as well as a flexible lexicon to lead a creative team.
CREATIVE PRODUCTION
I’ve produced everything, from a ultra-low budget short passion projects to multi-million dollar studio film. Providing creative insight + solutions is just the beginning. I’ve gotten my hands dirty on every stage of production, being an instrumental player in development, budgeting, pitching, line-producing, production management, post producing, + distribution/marketing.
DESIGN AESTHETIC
My varied background has given me the ability to be dangerously flexible. None of my work has existed in a vacuum. All compliment and enhance the other. My experience as a designer has not only informed my approach to video production + direction, but also has morphed into an extension of my marketing ability, allowing me to guide creative in a unique manner.
I’ve worked as a one-man band in freelance scenarios, managed large teams in agency settings, and built and directed video crews large and small all over the country. My true passion is visual storytelling in collaboration with innovative, like-minded artists.
