Bio
Melvyn Ternan
Steven is a dedicated, hard working & extremely creative individual. I have known and taught Steven for over 2 years and he has never ceased to amaze me with his energy and ability to create. Steven also has a fantastic ability to listen to criticism, utilise it and come up with better changes to his work than first suggested. He pours lavish amounts of energy into everything he does and in all honesty, through doing this, he has inspired not only myself, but everyone around him whilst at University. I have absolutely no doubt that Steven will be a key member of whichever industry he enters into, be it Games or Animation. Any company lucky enough to have Steven work for them will realise very quickly just what an asset he is.

Steve's a really friendly, motivated guy who has pushed and worked hard over the years I have known him. It was a real pleasure to teach him and great to see his efforts pay off with his recent successes and achievements! His peer group had/has some incredibly talented people in it, and they have all achieved great things. Steve's drive and enthusiasm I'm sure played a significant role in reaching those heights!
