I'm proficient in the Adobe Suite of Products, creating pieces for both print and web. Working as a freelance graphic designer allows me to focus on each of my clients projects without distraction. It also enables me to turn projects around quickly when needed. I'm proud to have contributed exceptional visual solutions to an ever-changing marketplace since 2015.

• 20+ yrs as a professional artist/illustrator on 3 continents • Drawn thousands of storyboards for TV commercials (mostly), films and TV shows • Illustrated books, billboards etc • More recently moved into animation and motion graphics • Created many short films from scratch • Easy to work with (good listener/communicator) • Lived and worked in London, Hong Kong and Los Angeles • Happy to work out a per project price with milestones What you can expect from me: • Software Proficiency: Adobe Illustrator - Adobe Photoshop - Adobe After Effects - Adobe Premiere Pro - Procreate - Blender - Callipeg - Etc • Adaptability and Diverse Styles: Drawing, illustrating, animating and film making. I'll work with you to find the perfect style and tone to suit your project, or I won't take it on • Strong Drawing and Sketching Abilities: A pencil has been an extension of my brain forever. I'll run ideas by you in sketch form, via zoom or back and forth messages • Conceptual Thinking and Visual Storytelling: Any thoughts or ideas I'll happily share. It's all just a part of the process • Communication Skills: I've kept everyone in the loop during projects big and small. You'll be no exception • Client Relationship Building: I know the value of clients who are delighted with the outcome and work with me for years (sometimes a LOT of years!) on many projects • Time Management and Organization: I've storyboarded multiple ads in a campaign, along with comps for print and other media without ever dropping the ball. I worked with a team for a city park in Toronto where I designed and sculpted a 4' long turtle of a specific species, oversaw the casting process and arranged delivery of the final bronze. I had to keep them alert to their deadlines when they were slow to respond • 2D Animation and Motion Graphics: I've animated for apps, websites, even made whiteboard sections for a movie or two. Intros, outros, explainers and some character animation • 3D Animation: Modeling, rigging, texturing, animating in Blender. Sculpting in ZBrush. I've even created shorts hand animating Lego Minifigs. And combining 3D objects animated by hand, with 2D lip synced faces added in After Effects • Key Soft Skills: I've worked with Directors, Producers, teams, committees, publishers, authors - you name it! I've learned to get along and keep everything running smoothly. You'll find me quite accommodating in areas such as these: Creativity Communication skills Patience Time Management Attention to detail Storyboarding and Storytelling Teamwork • Adaptability: I realize at the end of the day this project is for your audience, and I'm happy to adapt along the way. Sometimes better ideas evolve as we go! • Experience and Portfolio: I can show you plenty of examples which demonstrate my experience I'll end with some words from a producer I worked with a lot, mostly when she was producing and I was storyboarding TV spots for commercial Director Brent Thomas: 'When Steve Worthington asked me to write him a letter of recommendation, it gave me the opportunity to reflect on my career as TV commercial producer in Los Angeles. For much of my 25+ year career, I produced national TV spots with director Brent Thomas, who is most remembered for being the art director of Apple's "1984" spot and a commercial film director with a legacy of 30+ years directing national and international commercial campaigns for many of the top ad agencies in the world. Steve was an integral part of our crew for many years at Green Dot Films, Brent’s production company. I retired from production in 2020, and Brent has since passed away, but his appreciation (and mine) of Steve's work ethic and incredible talents were aligned. No one did it better. No one captured Brent’s vision better. No one met deadlines better. No one came close to Steve’s level of artistry, interpretation, and translation of thought and ideas to paper. If Steve was not available to illustrate Brent’s storyboards on a project, let's just say there was a bit of hell for me to pay finding someone remotely comparable. As Steve moved out of Hollywood to pursue his many other talents, Brent gave his stamp of approval whole-heartedly: "Steve is simply the best storyboard artist I have ever used. And one of the few who actually is an artist. He's also very smart, a gifted draughtsman who brings a lot to the party, a filmmaker who totally gets our business, and a lot of fun to work with. He's always my first call. Highly recommended. Regards, Brent Thomas, Green Dot Films, Santa Monica, CA.” I couldn't agree more, and I can't really say it any better. Steve is a gem to work with and talented to boot. I don't think you will find a better candidate. Sincerely, Ursula Gabel Baird, MA, LMFT'
