Steve Oparowski
Senior Creative
I play the role of a Creative and that has pretty much been the story of my life. I approach projects with a technical eye allowing plenty of room for creative juices. After work I take care of my sweet-little monsters and do crosswords with my wife, all while trying to feed my appetite for hip hop.
