UX/ui Designer | Artist
Sebastian Stakem
I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was always picking random things up off the ground, taking them apart, and trying to figure out how they worked.
That eventually turned into drawing and painting, and later, into wanting to create things digitally. Around three years into that, I started messing around with HTML and Photoshop and realized I could take the things I was making and bring them to life online.
Since then, the medium has changed quite a bit. I’ve spent time in sales, built teams, gotten into real estate, and found myself drawn to designing and creating spaces too. But underneath all of it, I think it’s always been the same thing: I just like to make things.
Whether it’s a painting, a website, a business, or a home, I’m happiest when I’m creating something that didn’t exist before.

About me
Hello again, I’m Sebastian.
I’ve always been curious and drawn to creating things. That curiosity has taken me through a lot of different experiences—from working in restaurants at 15, to leading a sales team, getting into real estate, and traveling to 15 countries. I try to spend at least a month abroad every year, and some of my favorite experiences have come from simply being somewhere completely new.
Along the way, I’ve learned a lot about people, business, and seeing things from different perspectives. I’ve also learned that I enjoy taking something that already exists and imagining what it could become, whether that’s a home, a photograph, a painting, or a design.
I don’t really see creativity as belonging to one medium. I just like to make things, learn, and use the gifts God has given me.
