Get To Know Steve
I used to breakdance in Jr. High and had a street name, “ElectroMagic.” But I lost my first dance off and retired at the age of 13.
My first job was at a video rental/ice cream parlor and I had to run back and forth working both parts of the store. I watched a lot of bad movies and ate way too much ice cream.
Bad horror and action movies from the 80’s. I’ve seen them all, specifically Trolls 2, which in fact contains no trolls. False advertising.
Guitar and karate…better yet, both at the same time. Guitarate?
Steve's Favorite Project
This was one of our most impactful visual designs. The design really gives users a sense of the atmosphere of the ballpark, which was the message our client wanted to communicate. I loved all the small animations and playful visual elements we added to support the baseball stadium theme. It's those small touches that can make a website design stand out.
