Testimonials
I've had the pleasure to work with Steve on several projects and his design skills and expertise in web development are invaluable! He's the kind of unicorn every web development team wants in their corner. He not only has a keen eye for great web user experiences but also can code up the animations and designs so business stakeholders can see it in action and developers can get a clearer picture of what is required. His ability to work across team functions make him a valued collaborator who is able to easily bridge the gap between design and development.
