Steven Deeds has skill sets that bridge the gaps between both the technical and the aesthetic. He shows a proven ability to pickup new concepts and technologies and learn them quickly, honing his skills and applying them in every project he takes. Steven can also talk with stakeholders at a high level about business processes and easily transform those processes in to technical designs and UI components. He is one of the few that I know that has a foothold in so many diverse fields, and uses this experience to provide excellent customer service and experience. He is thoughtful and a solid optimist.

What's impressive about Steven is his laser focus and unshakable work-ethic on projects he's involved with. I had the pleasure of working with Steven for over a year on Special Projects. Steven's ability to quickly lead us through constantly shifting ground, made him a particularly productive leader. No matter how stressful the projects got, Steven's intense conviction toward continued effort inspired and motivated our team to dig deep, and keep moving the needle forward, toward success. As a team leader, director, or executive, Steven earns my highest recommendation.

Working with Steven has been a major contributing factor to the growth I've seen in my business. Because he can bring perspective & critical thinking to each project, it's typical for the final deliverable to be better than the initial vision I had in mind. In the past few years as my Executive Art Director, Steven has developed a cohesive brand, which now visually connects our various projects, and which he employed throughout his UI designs. As a developer, he has built several pieces of feature-rich, in-house web software; integrating them with our Wordpress environments. Working with Steven, it's clearly the case that he has my business’s best interests in mind. I know he will bring this same sense of care to every future project he is involved in.

A key differentiator between Steven and others with similar backgrounds is that he is not only a highly creative thinker, but he is also very analytical. He can think outside the box and create solutions that are practical, effective, and realistic. Additionally, I appreciate Steven's willingness to push back on ideas that will not achieve a client's goal, and his willingness to share alternative solutions. I highly recommend Steven.
