George Steeley, Director
Marketing & Communications
George is a San Francisco-based creative director, writer, and designer who runs an independent studio trusted by startups and global brands alike — including Citi, Hyatt, and McKinsey & Company.
His work spans technology, financial services, hospitality, and climate, but the common thread is curiosity: digging deep, distilling what matters, and turning complex ideas into clear, compelling stories and experiences.
Outside of work, George is a musician and guitarist with a past, a curious flâneur, and — most of all — a super proud girl dad.
George joined the Garden in 2018, discovering in gardening a new passion and a welcome antidote to life spent largely online.
As he got to know his fellow members, he began helping the Board address communications and marketing needs. In 2025, he accepted an invitation to join the Board, where he now focuses on strengthening the Garden’s communications, telling its story, updating this website, and helping more people connect with this remarkable community.
George holds bachelor’s degrees in economics and political science from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
