Alan Stuart

Alan Stuart is the founder and creative director of One Long House. After working for years in publishing (Wired, The New Yorker) he went into advertising... but not just any type of advertising. Alan was a senior art director at Green Team, the world’s first socially and environmentally conscious ad agency.
