Stephen Diebold

Industrial Designer — San Francisco, CA

About

After being completely engrossed with design research and designing for disabilities in my college years, I tried my hand at a different side of design. At Bish Creative Display, I was responsible for translating Fortune 500 companies’ branding into meaningful and eye-catching kiosk and display products. I've brought over 40 products to market by sketching, rendering, prototyping and carrying through all stages of manufacturing to production. I moved to San Francisco in September of 2012 and am now Sr. Production Artist at the Blackhawk Network, where I design retail solutions for many large companies.
