Bio
Matthew Tarpy
Stephen is one of the most talented UX folks I've had the pleasure of working with in my career. Not only does he had a deep reservoir of ideas and a variety of approaches to solve thorny client problems, his client-facing skills, and client handling are some of the best I've seen. We worked together on a particularly challenging client who couldn't clearly elucidate what they were looking for and would throw last-minute changes. Stephen met their challenges with good grace, humor, and professionalism that I found refreshing. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and I look forward to when our professional paths cross again.
