About Me

Profile

My name is Steve Sargent and I am a highly accomplished creative developer and specialise in standard and rich HTML5 display ad production, email development, and complex interactive web animations. From small one-off bespoke display asset creation to high-volume, data-driven multilingual display production, I offer a wealth of experience from the initial concept, pitch, design, and master animation to final asset delivery.
