About

Steven Design Co is led by an award-winning creative director with 15+ years transforming major publishing brands across print and digital media — with deep expertise in magazine design, editorial layouts, and digital publishing platforms, combined with modern UX/UI and front-end development skills.

 

Background

Previously VP of Design at leading publishing companies, leading print-to-digital transformations and multi-title redesigns. Recipient of multiple Jesse H. Neal Awards for editorial design excellence — with a proven track record creating compelling print publications while building cohesive digital experiences.

 

Services

  • Magazine and editorial design
  • Print-to-digital transformation
  • UX/UI design and front-end development
  • Brand and publishing identity design

 

 

Steven takes a user-centered approach to every web project — combining visual design with a deep understanding of how people actually navigate and interact with digital experiences. The result is websites that don't just look professional, but actively support the business goals behind them.

 

Clients include founders, marketing teams, and agencies across industries who need a dependable design and development partner — someone who can deliver quality work on time, communicate clearly throughout the process, and build something that lasts.

 

 

The measure of good marketing isn't how creative it is — it's whether it changes behavior. Every strategy, campaign, and piece of content is evaluated against that standard, which is why the work tends to produce results that are easy to attribute and easy to build on.

 

If you're looking for a partner who takes your business seriously and delivers work that produces results, this is a strong fit. The best engagements start with a real conversation about what you need — not a templated proposal.

 

Available for media and publishing brands investing in editorial design and digital publishing at a high standard.

Hear from our satisfied clients.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve for most of my tenure at MTG. When he took over as the art director of Plate, my team and I got to work with him directly and loved not only his eye for great design but his collaborative spirit.
