CREATIVE DIRECTOR  •  DESIGNER  •  MULTIMEDIA PRODUCER

There is freedom
in the anarchy
of creativity.

about

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.
