about me
My name is Steven but I’ve been Graz since I was 5. In fact my college football coach thought I only had one name. Like Drake, or Cher. I’m an award winning Senior Art Director with nearly a decade of experience at several agencies such as Mcgarrybowen NY, Tierney, Levlane, and Mendoza Group.
My multidisciplinary skill set spans graphic design, TV production, digital, social, print, experiential, and out-of-home. These skills have allowed me to develop multi-channel campaigns and branding for a wide variety of clients and industries.
I combine strategic thinking, big ideas, storytelling, and bold design.
I work fast and efficiently with great detail.
I have fun.
I break rules.
I love to be healthy and fit, while simultaneously eating unusually large quantities of food. Pizza is the best food in the world.
I watch as many movies as I possibly can, and will stick with the bad ones until the bitter end.
My family and friends are the most important things in the world to me.
