Summary
Steve North is a versatile design and IT professional with 11+ years of experience and a career spanning production management, agency leadership, and hands-on technical support. As director of Drop The Pen and proprietor of Go2North, he blends print and digital design expertise—magazines, branding, web—and practical IT services for SMEs and home users across Surrey and Hampshire. He spent over a decade running production for multi-title B2B magazines, translating technical content into compelling visual layouts while managing tight deadlines and printer workflows. Equally comfortable troubleshooting networks, migrating users between PC and Mac, and training teams in Adobe InDesign, he’s built a reputation for calm problem-solving under pressure. An unusual strength is his combination of creative craft (14 years making oil look appealing in print) with frontline IT experience, enabling end-to-end delivery from concept to functioning systems.
