Accolades
Kind Words
Greg Stevens is a creative force. His graphic design and animations are second to no one. I can say this as someone who's been in the television business for many many years. Best of all, Greg is a positive person, always finding a way things can be done and never saying it can't be done. I give Greg the highest of recommendations.
Greg Stevens is the most talented and diligent graphic designer I have ever worked with. His sense of calm under deadline, razor sharp attention to detail and incredible talent make him a tremendous asset to any project, and a major contributor to any newsroom. Always eager to tackle a big assignment and try something new, Greg is an innovator. He literally won a Murrow award for "excellence in innovation," along with a whole host of other honors. His skill set translates to any video or multimedia project, and his outgoing personality and strong work ethic lift the workplace morale of those around him.
Greg is the most innovative and talented creator of graphic art I have ever worked with in 47 years in broadcast television. He has worked miracles with snipes, color themes, motion reveals and projects so unique, I had never imagined or seen them before. Greg comes with my highest recommendation.
Having worked with Greg for years, I can honestly say you will never find a more talented Art Director/Designer. He brings unique ideas to the table every day and is always willing to go the extra mile to make some incredible work. Not only is he a great designer/animator, he also extremely talented with a camera and lens. I highly recommend Greg for any and all positions he would be interested in.
Talent oozes from Greg Stevens. He is incredibly creative and takes an immense amount of pride in his designs. Each of Greg’s projects are unique, and that is the result of him putting in a lot of thought, and more importantly, heart, into each task. Aside from his skill set, Greg’s infectious personality makes working with him that much more enjoyable.
Greg is a visionary creator and an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. I have worked with him on many on-air and social media projects and his ability to take and build upon my ideas has always exceeded my expectations. So much more than a designer: Greg is a creative who is able to concept, produce, design, edit - pretty much does it all! I am always proud of the projects that I work on with Greg!
