BIOGRAPHY:
Shortly after graduating college in 1986, Stefan traveled to Hong Kong to visit a friend. While there, he wanted to see what Hong Kong's design companies were doing and to get inside their doors, Stefan pretended to be interviewing for jobs. Ironically, he was offered a high-paying job—Stefan accepted, spending the next two years in Hong Kong. After returning to New York, Stefan used the money he'd saved overseas to open his own shop. As a successful designer, he's created album covers for a number of artists, including the Rolling Stones, David Byrne and Lou Reed.
