I honestly get emotional when I think about what it was like to work with Steve. He made me feel so calm and comfortable, which resulted in my telling him my story in a more vulnerable way than I think I ever have before. He told me story with so much grace and he took my life and made it a gorgeous, compelling piece.I couldn't be more grateful for the work Steve has done with me and I will work with him again and again for years to come.I couldn't recommend him, as a human, or his work any more than I do!Jess Lenouvel
