“ Steve excels at book cover and layout design, and has designed two of my own book covers, but that is only one small part of his repertoire. Logos, newsletter design, brochures, signage, and illustrations for corporate, small business and personal clients all have Steve’s hallmark: creativity combined with professional look.”
Barbara Munson, Editor and ghostwriter
