Bio
Lee Davies
Hiring Stephen to join the art team at PopCap was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I made during my tenure as Art Manager there. His outstanding illustration and animation abilities make him one of the most versatile and creative artists I have worked with. He always delivers work that exceeds expectations and relishes any opportunity to prototype new concepts. Stephen was always a positive presence within the art team the wider Dublin studio. I have absolutely no reservations recommending Stephen; I know that both his talents and demeanour will prove invaluable assets to any team he joins in the future.
