Bio
Chris Goldsmith
I recently worked with Steve on a Sony Playstation Move title. I reported directly to Steve and he provided excellent audio project management. Not only is he an excellent sound designer, but a fantastic mentor too. He was very approachable and always willing to help in coming up with interesting and creative ways of implementing audio in game. I learnt a great deal from Steve. He's a great guy to work with and would recommend him highly. I hope to work with him again in the future.

Steve is a brilliantly talented & creative sound designer, he has a genuine passion for game sound and his work is of a consistently high standard. He is very dedicated to his job & will always give 100% whether its first thing on a Monday morning or the middle of the night during crunch time. Working with Steve has been really enjoyable and has also improved my skills as a sound designer, because his thorough knowledge of sound/music production has shown me new ways of approaching my work. If Steve was a game he would have a metacritic average of above 90.
