Stu is in New Jersey
Stuart Schwartz is a Creative Director with nearly 30 years of design experience and 15+ years leading creative teams, proof that curiosity, problem‑solving, and good taste never go out of style. An award‑winning designer, Stuart began his career in publishing, working with iconic brands like Condé Nast, Martha Stewart Living, and Fast Company.
His creative path took a decisive turn at Sports Illustrated, where, as Creative Director of Marketing, he fell in love with marketing’s constant motion: new challenges, new ideas, and no two problems ever quite the same. He’s been designing within marketing ever since, partnering with top agencies and a wide range of companies to bring smart, strategic ideas to life.
Today, Stuart is the Creative Director at Ampersand, a New York City-based media company, where he collaborates closely with the marketing team while leading design across the organization. It’s a fast‑paced role that keeps him sharp, adaptable, and just the right amount of caffeinated.
Outside of work, Stuart is all about balance...spending time with his family, racing gravel and mountain bikes, obsessing over interior design, cooking, and cruising around on a skateboard.
