Steve Szoczei (pronounced "soot-see") has a background in Industrial Design and with a specialty in User Experience Design. His interests range from the tangible world of product and furniture design, to the intangible realm of human-computer interaction. Steve's hand has graced such products as Bryce, KPT, Painter, and CorelDRAW. When not expressing his creativity in Painter or Bryce in his spare time, Steve can be found visiting garage sales dreaming of the day he will find someone unknowingly getting rid of a Corbusier Barcelona chair.
