"Steffen is an excellent composer, collaborator, and teammate. He is absolutely driven to excel in his craft, clearly putting in the extra time to grow, learn, and become the best version of himself he can be. Couple this with his adaptability and openness to feedback, and you have someone who can quickly come to not just understand your vision, but own it, adapt it, and re-invent it in exciting ways. I look forward to collaborating with Steffen on many future projects."

"Steffen and I connected immediately when I started working on Palia! We both understood the visual importance music plays when creating character and personality within a zone. We worked on new dungeons and zones by using mood and emotion as a defining aspect that only music could materialize. We were a small team, yet Steffen brought such a high level of quality and refinement to the world of Palia. Steffen is an amazing composer! I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with him, and I hope to work with him in the future! Steffen is a uniquely talented artist and is destined for great things!!"

No matter the scale of what we worked on Steffen was always on board to creatively problem solve around deadlines and last minute tweaks."
