Neasden Control Centre is Stephen Smith; Illustrator, artist and art director. His handmade analog practice redefines visual language through bold compositions, typography and instinctive hand drawn mark-making. Rooted in process and experimentation, the work moves fluidly across collaborations, publishing, editorial, animation & moving image, fine art and immersive installations.

Partnering with leading brands, institutions, and cultural pioneers, Neasden Control Centre crafts distinctive narratives that cut through noise, challenge convention, and leave a lasting impression.
