Testimonials
Steve really hit the ground running for us, and met our extremely unrealistic and tight deadlines with flying colors. His designs were implemented with unanimous approval from all Affinity stakeholders (A rare feat).
Steve was a critical, valuable partner that ensured the IBM CEDP UXUI initiative was successful. He worked well with every member of the team, always a positive attitude and collaborative approach. Knowledgeable and skilled with a strong work ethic.
Steve is probably the most skilled and articulate (and confident) UX strategist I've ever worked with. He is a total hands off type, just tell him what needs to be accomplished and expect first rate results everytime.
