about norman

Wexford native, Norman Stevenson brings a rich tapestry of experience spanning over two decades in strategy, innovation, and design to his latest venture as a visual artist. With a deep-rooted background in creating brand-centric products for global clients across consumer, industrial, and healthcare sectors, Norman has honed a keen eye for the intricate dance between form and function.

As the former Director of Client Strategy at PA Consulting and Design Partners in Ireland, Norman led teams that partnered with ambitious clients to fuel their growth through exceptional product experiences. His profound understanding of design and its impact on consumer interaction is now channelled into creating art that explores the delicate interplay of light, texture, and form.

Norman completed a PhD in sustainable design research at Loughborough University in 2013, which not only shaped his approach to design but also instilled a deep appreciation for the sustainable practices that he now incorporates into his artwork. Following his academic tenure, he served as a lecturer in product and industrial design, further solidifying his expertise before returning to the consultancy world at DCA in Warwick, UK.

Today, as an artist, Norman Stevenson is dedicated to exploring themes of decay and rebirth through his photography. His current exhibition, "Flowers & Chocolates," invites viewers into a visual dialogue that captures the ephemeral beauty of wilted flora juxtaposed with the timeless elegance of hand-crafted chocolates, echoing his career-long fascination with elevating everyday materials into striking compositions.

Norman’s transition from a design strategist to artist reflects his lifelong commitment to aesthetics and his relentless pursuit of beauty in all its forms.
