About the Artist
Image Description: Image of Stuart Getty from the chest up wearing a white button-up, collared, long sleeve shirt, brown glasses, a necklace with a black cord and clear crystal, and a gold earring in their left ear. They are smiling and angled slightly towards the left of the camera.
Stuart Getty (they/them) is an artist, a writer and a filmmaker, and overarchingly, just someone who has to make things. By day, they work as a consultant at global design company IDEO, where they are a brand strategist, sr. design lead, and workshop facilitator. Their main focuses are designing for: inclusion, play, and purpose. On the side, they write books (first one How to They/Them, 2020, Sasquatch books) and make films (thegettybrothers.com) (Sundance “Oregon Room,” 2016, Portland Film Fest, Translations Film Fest) and also do speaking engagements about gender, identity, and all things they (Creative Mornings, SXSW, Pecha Kucha). But pretty much, Stu is on this planet to have a good time finding the authentic stories in all of us. Everywhere.
