Stephen Mitchell's Biography

G’day. I’m Stephen Mitchell

I am a creative professional, entrepreneur, and family man. Formerly based in the Adelaide Hills, I now reside upon Kangaroo Island.

In 2011 I discovered I have been living with Klinefelter's syndrome since birth. In 2012 I discovered I have Menieres disease during a freak accident.

I'm a proud dad of two autistic sons - Jai & Aidan. I am proud of my son's mother for her ability to run a successful honey business, whilst choosing to be a solo-parent.

My life is a mix of business, creativity, and community involvement. So I practise self-affirmations, repeat a daily mantra, and commit to staying grounded.

I am an advocate for Kangaroo Island businesses. I promote local enterprise whenever I can, because Kangaroo Island is not just where I live; it is woven into the person I have chosen to become.

PROFESSIONAL WINDOW CLEANER

In 2018 I launched my own window cleaning business, offering reliable and high-quality work to homes and businesses across the island.

I am now considered one of the few professional window cleaners upon Kangaroo Island.

Since 2017 I've been a volunteer radio presenter for 5KIxFM90.7, our local community station, most weeks and every New Year’s Eve.

This experience has enabled me to share great music, plus connect with listeners while sharpening my public speaking skills.

ENTHUSIASTIC PHOTOGRAPHER

Photography has been a passion since 1984, capturing landscapes and life across Australia and New Zealand. My camera is never far from reach.

My photography has been exhibited during SALA, at local galleries, and will soon be available at the Kingscote Markets.
My photography is also on Redubble.

ILLUSTRATIONS

Graphic design began as animations after the 9/11 terrorism. Then I helped animate a duck for a cafe in Adelaide. Since then I have designed a thousand or more illustrations for fun.

In 2012 I was began selling my designs online. In mid 2025 I deleted all and began a'fresh, with all new designs. I discovered creativity cannot be destroyed!

WRITTEN ART

Blogging

I irregularly write articles on my blog. The subjects include a variety of subjects and genres, ranging from self improvement to CSS ideas.

Poetry

Expressing my thoughts in poetry has been a passion since childhood. My poetry collection goes back to the mid-1980's. I still write, plus plan to publish a few books within the next few years.

Web Development & AI Code

With over 15 years of experience in HTML5 and CSS3, I build websites that are clean, functional, and visually engaging. I'm also exploring AI-assisted coding to push my web development even further.

OTHER PASSIONS

I began building a RC Car during Covid. It's still a work in progress.

I was gifted a Super73ZG in early 2021. The battery is problematic, and works occasionally. ☹
