Bio
Kain Shin
I have worked with Steve at two separate studios. Over time, I've come to view Steve as the sage of the design pit. I get a strong impression that Steve has seen it all when it comes to game development. He takes incoming challenges with stride and never seems to miss a beat when the unexpected happens at any level. Methodical and precise, Steve is dependably consistent with the high quality of his designs. As a designer, his experience definitely puts him at the top of the game with wholly coherent worlds and meaningful contexts. I have been learning from Steve's posture and attitude over my time working with him, and I'm grateful to have had that experience.

Steve is a real pleasure to work with. He knows what he wants and how to get it in a way that is professional, respectful, and brings out your best. Hands down, I would work with him again.
