SS Stosh Steward

Product designer · Web + mobile · Bothell, WA

I make complex products feel clear, useful, and human.

I’m Stanton “Stosh” Steward, a product-minded UX designer and builder. For twenty years at Bungie, I shaped player-facing experiences across Bungie.net, Destiny Companion, and Halo-era community systems.

Stosh, mid-wave 👋

My work lives between product strategy and the details that make a product hold together: a clearer error, a stronger flow, a reusable component, a convincing prototype, or the last release check before players arrive.

I’ve worked across game-adjacent products, live-service platforms, community tools, mobile apps, and marketing systems, often moving between design and implementation to keep momentum.
