Bio
Andrew Matthews
Steven is an exceptionally talented lead who can inspire and encourage the very best from his team as well as produce the finest works. The shear quality of his work was only matched by his enthusiasm and energy and whose management style was open and honest but tempered with a clear direction and resolve. Steven is truly one of the best leads I have had the pleasure to work with and I wish him the very best.
Lenny Johnson
Throughout the 11+ years that I have worked with Steven he has continually moved with the times and come out on top. His skills as an artist are exceptional and second to none. Steven has always been first choice when artistic quality is needed and I am confident he will continue to perform above the rest in the future.
