Bio
Todd Pretre
Steve is a designer who truly has the goods! I asked Steve to design a fresh logo for my business. His creative ability combined with his overwhelming desire to satisfy my brand vision was second to none (and I tried others previously). When I realized I overthought what I thought I wanted, I called Steve. He came in and broke down my vague descriptions with intelligent questions in order to deliver a series of well thought out designs for my needs. Not only did Steve deliver on schedule, he also provided a full slate of files for any use I wanted. If you need some creative, you need Steve Labecki.
