With a 1st class honours degree in Transport Design, Gresham's freelance career began in a few different sectors of the market including industrial design, where Steve was involved with the manufacture of injection moulded products. It later led him to become a toy and games designer for brands such as Pictionary, Boots PLC, the Early Learning Centre and Britains-Petite.
In 1995 Gresham worked with Williams Grand Prix in its engineering division to develop racing cars using a wind tunnel to make them as aerodynamic as possible. It would prove to be invaluable experience when the young designer made the move from high performance cars to high speed yachts just a couple years later, working on the 24m Oci Ciornie for Don Shead Design. The success of this project led to the creation of other projects such as the Linssen DS45 and Townsend Bay Marine 22m high speed dive boat in 2001.
In 2003 Gresham put pencil to paper for Tony Castro Design, creating the exterior design and interior layout for the Trader 64' and Trader 42' Signature, and the exterior for the Trader 70'. Four years later Steve began freelancing for H2 Yacht Design, working on projects such as 72.6m Vicky, 123m Al Lusail and 125m Maryah. With a wealth of knowledge and experience, the time had come to branch out on his own, and in 2011 he did just that. Since 2011 the studio has presented a number of projects including the 61m gulet Mare Nostrum II, 90m motoryacht Sundance, 100m explorer yacht Exploris and a few other confidential projects.
