Steve joins us from the West Coast, where he began his design career at Nike in 1995. For over a decade, he art directed global brand initiatives for the brand’s basketball and running divisions, as well as Niketown Retail. There he gained a deep love and understanding of brand design, working on projects for LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Nike Shox and Battlegrounds, among others.

In 2006, Steve became Creative Director of a new design venture at Formit, Inc. He soon re-branded the company as HERENOW and integrated a multi-disciplinary design team into the existing core of project managers. For five years, he art directed and managed a team of 15 designers on a variety of print, web and retail projects.

In addition to art direction and design, Steve specializes in illustration and photography. Several selections of his work have been featured in Communication Arts and Graphis. He now lives in New York City.
