Stephan Barrett

Throw him an impossible challenge, he’ll find a way. Hit him with a crazy deadline, he won’t flinch. Ask him to drive through the dangerous mountains of Costa Rica in the pitch-black night, he’s all about it. But show him a little blood and he’s on the floor. Hey, we all have our kryptonite.

Stephan’s fearlessness is the reason clients sign on. It’s the reason Grant Hill wouldn’t trust any other agency to build his online brand. The reason Hart and Huntington gives him full creative control. And why his team shows up to the office excited to take on new challenges every day. Well, that and they’re hoping he’ll sing to them.

Before opening the doors at Rise ten years ago, he worked on brands including Universal Orlando, The Florida Department of Health, Subway and Rec Warehouse to name a few. While his approach has changed over the years, his passion has remained the same – he loves the process of design, building businesses and helping business owners achieve their goals. And he won’t stop until he does just that.

Stephan graduated with a Graphic Design degree from Valencia. Oh, and in case you need a blood donor, he’s a universal O+. Just don’t ask him to look.
