The Hour is Here was founded by Toronto-based Creative Director Steve St. Jean. Steve has over 15 years of experience in advertising, design, branding, content, and all things digital. His creative passion started at an early age with an immersive upbringing in skateboarding and counterculture that continues to fuel his creativity today.

Steve is currently the Head of Brand Creative at Collective Arts, leading a team of multi-disciplinary creatives. After hours, he spends his nights photographing live music for his music publication Beyond The Watch

Creative talk aside, Steve’s a music freak, skateboarder, husband, coffee addict and dog dad to an Australian Cattle Dog named Belmont (yes, after the cigarettes).
