Industry fields of expertise
Steve in a few words
With two decades immersed in the creative industry, my expertise covers a broad spectrum, from video production and design management to brand design, motion graphics, content creation, storytelling, and filmmaking. These elements have been key players in shaping my professional journey.
Fusing my sharp commercial acumen with a creative vision, I've not only collaborated with industry giants like KPMG, GSK, and Vodafone but also garnered recognition for directing and producing award-winning short films. My debut film, "Epiphany," received fifteen awards, while my short documentary, "No Justice, No Peace," clinched four accolades.
Beyond personal achievements, I've successfully set up and led multiple onshore and offshore teams spanning brand design, motion graphics, and video production. My role as a visionary has been reinforced by my experience and qualifications, including postgraduate degrees.
In addition to my professional endeavors, I proudly serve as a board advisor for the Renaissance Foundation for digital communications. Over the past five years, I've engaged with this wonderful charity in various capacities, contributing to its impactful mission.
In addition to my professional achievements, I am an accomplished author with two published books, one focused on personal development and the other delving into the intricacies of filmmaking.
