“Few people have the opportunity to report to a supervisor who is also a coach and mentor - but I did when I worked for Steven when he took on his role as eCommerce Director.

During the two years I directly reported to Steven, he prioritized my professional growth and created an environment of collaboration and teamwork. I admire his ability to handle tense working dynamics with patience and integrity. He led our team to launch and implement several massive projects successfully. I had an incredible experience under his leadership, and I highly recommend him.”

“He not only provided incredible mentorship to me but also put systems in place to encourage team members to mentor each other in their "skill gaps." Between that and his championing of external-facing resources like the Style Guide, Process Guide, Collaboration Rooms, and UX Conference, he allowed the UX team to influence a far greater audience and make a larger impact despite our limited headcount.

I would 100% recommend Steven to any organization that values their people and wants to make a larger impact on both results and on the people that create results.”

“Steven has an incredible ability to quickly understand the complex challenges we were trying to solve and offer extremely innovative solutions. The outcome of Steven’s work has set the benchmark for a clean sheet approach to UX in our applications.

End customers and independent competitors have both expressed huge praise for the ease of use, style, and presentation of these apps. Much of that praise should be directed at Steven for both conceiving the ideas and mentoring his team to produce similarly excellent results.”

“Steven understands better than almost anyone I've ever worked with that, at the end of the day, marketing is truly about finding that balance between stakeholder buy-in and an end product that will effectively communicate the client's message and achieve the desired KPIs.

Steven understands that marketing isn't about one channel but about bringing multiple channels together under a coordinated message and creative. He works diligently to bring teams together to achieve that coordination.“

“Steven is a fantastic designer. He's flexible and takes feedback well - which means he's great as part of an opinionated team and produces great work.

Steven jumped right into things when he started with us and never took his foot off the gas. He dealt with troublesome board members, technical limitations, and tight deadlines with grace and agility - something that I've found to be pretty rare when it comes to designers. I can't recommend Steven highly enough and would love to work with him again.“

“Steven has some amazing skills in the UX and design space. While we worked together, I was always impressed with his positive attitude and visionary ideas.

Steven did a great job with his team; not only did he meet the demands of his customers, but he was able to develop and inspire his team and others. He is a great sounding board for ideas and always left me feeling inspired and energized after we interacted.”
