Biography
For as long as Steven can remember, he’s always loved drawing. In elementary school he would work on comics after class to show them off to my friends the next day, watching their faces as they would read through the stories he had worked on. This love of storytelling and artwork would become a signature in everything he produced after, trying his hardest to create images that could convey as much meaning to the audience as possible.
Steven’s time at McMaster helped build his brand as an artist, using his passion for illustration to fully immerse himself in the world of branding and presentation for consumers. His undergrad also exposed him to the world of digital media, giving him the chance to create logos and advertisements for local start-ups, and the know-how to begin launching his site as a freelance illustrator.
While working with companies to develop personalized illustrations, he also began working as a fine artist, creating highly detailed artwork for galleries that once again told stories in stunning detail for audiences. His work can now be found in album covers, businesses, billboards, art galleries, and hopefully more to come.
Why Digital Media?
The MDM program is the perfect program to talk to like-minded individuals about the creative process and work with people who can help grow and start businesses. As a creative type with a background in business, Steven is excited to see how far he can push himself within the program and looks forward to meeting as many people on the way who can help build him up as an entrepreneur.
