Work I’ve Done for Others
I’ve worked with over 100+ businesses on everything from websites to logos to print collateral and full brand launches. Here’s a sample of the kind of creative I can bring to your project.
Meet Your Creative Partner
I’m Steven—designer, strategist, and creative thinker. If you’ve got a good idea and need help bringing it to life, I’m your guy.
I'm a mega creative. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats: designer, digital marketer, event planner, strategist, and business consultant. The common thread is this: I love helping people bring big ideas to life.
Whether it’s designing a brand, planning a launch or event, or creating an new or improved workflow, I bring creativity to everything I do. Turning something that’s “just in your head” into something real is what drives me.
My journey started when I popped a design software CD into my first PC as a kid in middle school. I was blown away by what I could create from nothing with just my mouse and keyboard. It continued through college, where I freelanced for small, local mom-and-pop shops (which also led to my start in the digital marketing world - think paid ads and SEO). After graduation, it formalized further in the startup corridors of Winston-Salem at the Wake Forest Innovation Quarter. A wonderful community that accepted with open arms. From there, I led campaigns both locally and globally, partnering with brands like Wix.com, Flywheel Coworking, and the Center for Creative Economy.
Today, I work at a web hosting technology company as a Senior Designer, where I continue to hone my skills. I also take on select client projects and offer consult-style support. My work has spanned local businesses to global audiences, and through it all, I’ve learned creativity isn’t just about making things pretty. It’s about solving real problems and helping ideas take shape.
