He was really good about explaining the process as we went along, and he always made himself available. He also got the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Steven. I look forward to working with him with all my future web designs projects."

He has the ability to adapt to an environment, people and personalities, and make it his own. As demands increases in technology, design and critical thinking he makes it happen.

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 person. Over the years, I’ve worn a lot of hats—designer, digital marketer, event planner, strategist, business consultant—and the common thread between them all is this: I love helping people bring big ideas to life.
Whether it’s building a brand, planning a launch, or streamlining your workflow, I bring creativity, clarity, and practical strategy to everything I do. Turning something that’s “just in your head” into something real is what drives me.
My journey started in the startup corridors of Winston-Salem—The City of Arts and Innovation—at the Wake Forest Innovation Quarter. From there, I led global campaigns for a web technology company and partnered with brands like Wix.com, Flywheel Coworking, and the Center for Creative Economy.
These experiences taught me that creativity isn’t just about making things pretty—it’s about solving problems. I combine strategy, storytelling, and execution to help small businesses grow, locally and around the world.
