Steve Harrington

From the cover of Clark magazine, to his website, to his desktop background the circle, square and triangle characters frequently appear in and around the work of Los Angeles-based designer Steve Harrington. A motif of sorts, the basic shapes and primary colours are of course the building blocks of design. However, it’s their call-to-action of “Hey, Let’s Build” that so simply sums up the energy and attitude that seems to exist behind Harrington’s work. Apart from running full-service collaborative design studio National Forest Design with Justin Krietemeyer, Harrington also pursues his own artwork allowing himself the creative opportunities and the enjoyment that comes from getting away from the computer and interacting with the tangible. If you’re wanting more information than our introduction can provide be sure to read both the Heavy Backpack interview and the You Work For Them Profile Magazine feature.
