About Me

Hi, I’m Steve, the founder of Narrative Designs. My career spans over 15 years in urban planning, with experience working for the City and County of Denver, a leading planning and engineering consulting firm, and Vail Resorts. These roles have given me the opportunity to shape communities in meaningful ways, from balancing the challenges of resort development with local needs to collaborating on multi year neighborhood and small area planning efforts.

Each step of my journey has reinforced my belief in the power of place-based storytelling. I founded Narrative Designs to merge my professional expertise with my passion for creativity and hands-on design.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me biking around Denver or shredding the snow and dirt trails in the Front Range. These activities fuel my love for Colorado and the outdoors, and they serve as a constant reminder of why I do this work: to create places that connect people to the places they call home.

At Narrative Designs, I believe in the importance of balance—being present for my three young boys while also delivering meaningful, impactful work. My dedication to shaping a future my kids can be proud of is grounded in the values of intention, connection, and commitment—to both my clients and those closest to me. This approach allows me to bring focused energy, purpose, and joy to every project I take on.

Let’s work together to shape the future of your community.
