Curious
by nature.

Stephen drove teams to deliver industry-leading experiences that changed how customers perceived the world's largest company. And he did it with a kindness and clarity that inspired me (and many others) to be better, try harder, reach further. Should you ever have the chance to work with Stephen, take it. Immediately. While you can.

Stephen is that unicorn that invariably makes everyone feel like they may actually accomplish the Herculean task set in front of them. More than once in my time at Walmart, I've given an assignment to someone and watched them look a little nervous at the task. Then I tell them that Stephen is going to help and all is well again. He's that guy. You want him on your team, always.

Stephen was a joy to work with. He was an amazing blend of "think" and "do." I always knew that I'd get amazingly thoughtful design work from him that was both beautiful and innovative. He self-manages and leads well beyond his years, and I can't wait to see what he's up to in 10 years.
