Stefan Wessels, co-founder and technical architect of emerging media company Breakdesign.com has been working in the creative/technical environment for the past 8 years. Starting in Johannesburg where he was a graphic designer and systems architect. He later moved to Sweden where he worked as designer and programmer for Y&R Stockholm, creating flash campaigns for Ericsson, MTV, Saab, Xerox, Ford and KLM. At the end of 2001 he joined Nokia Sweden to become content designer and manager for their most advanced ITV projects. After returning to South Africa, he joined a leading UK design firm, where he created campaigns and content for the UK music and film industry. Feeling disillusioned with the dynamics between creative agencies and their clients, himself and Rick Treweek, an animator and illustrator, started Breakdesign.com at the end of 2003. Breakdesign.com is now a leader in creating innovative, edgy content and solutions for emerging media, and are working with Nokia, MTV, Disney and other leading brands. Currently Breakdesign.com is creating games and applications for the youth - and early adopter market as well as building mobile community platforms to enable these groups to communicate through emerging technology.
