Steve headed up our creative operations at UBM Design Central where we produced 150-200 creative marketing, publishing, and events projects per month on average. He is very creative, can multi-task, and inspired our team of creative and marketing professionals to excel and produce award-winning, innovative work.

I have known Steve Raia since 2001 when he was art director at Ziff Davis Media. We worked together on multiple levels. He was/is a remarkably talented art director/designer/creative director. His experience in the digital medium and print medium is unsurpassed. From 2007-2017 I was the editor in chief of AMIT magazine. I hired Game6Media, Steve's company, to design and produce all aspects of the magazine. Once again Steve proved to be exceptional. His creative input, professional manner and customer service is beyond measure. I could not have produced a magazine of such a caliber without Steve's abilities and professional acumen.

Steve is an excellent creative director and designer. He and I worked together previously at UBM where he led the creative services department. More recently, I hired him to work as creative lead for the Travel group at Questex on a temporary basis while my permanent employee was on maternity leave. I then asked him back a second time while she was on leave a second time. He's an excellent designer, leader and manager and any company would be lucky to have him.

Steve is patient, intuitive, supremely talented, good-natured, flexible and a pure delight to have on a team. His talent is closely seconded by his personality and desire to go the extra mile.

He's been my first choice of designer for over 20 years and will remain that way for as long as he'll have us as clients.

Steve is and has been my go to for design work around my events. We have worked together during my time at multiple companies. He is professional, collaborative and always works with me on inevitable tight timelines and crazy turn arounds. He is extremely detail oriented and a pleasure to work with!

I have worked with Steve for over 15 years at three different companies. He understands, with very little coaching, what his clients need and want. He is on point, easy going, flexible and fast. He is an incredible asset to any and all teams.

It makes me extremely happy to be able to recommend Steven, as it has been an absolute pleasure for our team to work with him on our whitepaper project designs. I have worked with Steven for approximately two years now, and he reliably provides tremendous work that our clients are consistently pleased with. So much so that providing examples to some, they note that they would like their projects to follow a similar design. Steven consistently turns projects around in a timely manner, sometimes even same day, which we greatly appreciate in our line of work as things can be unpredictable. Steven's level of work and dedication shines through and always gives our team confidence that we're in good hands with him. We trust Steven wholeheartedly with any project we ask him to undertake!

We have worked with Steve over several years on a range of projects.He is an outstanding designer and art director and well versed in all major creative software programs. He translates complex info into appealing designs and is a pleasure to work with.

Steve Raia is our go-to designer. Visually (warning: here comes a hockey metaphor), he puts the puck in the back of the net every time. And we greatly appreciate his professionalism, can-do attitude, work ethic, communication skills, and sense of humor.
