His work ranged widely, including television and film production design and art direction, shopfitting, museum design, graphics and design for promotions and events. \u00a0Most of that work has involved creating a vision within a frame. Be it a viewfinder, window or stage. Always interested in making things Tim bring a strong practical knowledge to his work. Tim is always looking at\u00a0what makes the world and people tick.\u00a0Photography has proved to be a useful medium to explore and communicate these concepts. Having completed a unique home for himself and wife Ann, the Canterbury earthquakes struck. The building came through without damage but the aftermath has kept Tim busy on community projects. Keen on Jetskiing in the surf and scuba diving Tim is often found in a wet suit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Generally a business of one. As many of the\u00a0projects are quite specialised Tim finds that dealing\u00a0with most of the detail himself to be the most efficient way to do things.\u00a0However, he\u00a0has\u00a0a number of contractors that he calls on when required, usually in the drafting and\u00a0graphics areas to increase capacity. He also has a number of experts in other fields that he\u00a0consults when required: engineers, \u00a0lighting, IT, technical writing and museum operation to name a few.\u00a0There are\u00a0a team of suppliers Tim has established over\u00a0many years including specialist exhibit builders, set builders, joiners, signwriters, printers, electronic\/electricians\u00a0and more. He has\u00a0established contacts off shore for some manufacturing although he has a\u00a0preference\u00a0to use local suppliers. Quality vs price means local suppliers usually offer better value\u00a0for money. So while he may be only one he can put together a specialised team or almost any sized project.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/timstephenson.co.nz\/wordpress\/?page_id=171\">Work History<\/a><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/timstephenson.co.nz\/wordpress\/?page_id=171\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-224 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/timstephenson.co.nz\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/100723_013409_timstephenson-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Pigmrent on paper, 21 cm x 30 cm. signed and numbered\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/timstephenson.co.nz\/wordpress\/?page_id=181\"><strong>Newspaper\u00a0<\/strong>Articles<\/a><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/timstephenson.co.nz\/wordpress\/?page_id=181\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-230 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/timstephenson.co.nz\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/news.jpg\" alt=\"news\" width=\"270\" height=\"186\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tim Stephenson Born 1963 in Wellington New Zealand, Tim Graduated from Wellington School of Design in industrial design in 1984 Tim worked as a freelance designer for almost all of his career.
