Stephen Lira
Graphic and Interactive Designer
at Young Lira Projects LLC.
San Antonio, Tx.
In Houston, during the late 1990s, Stephen discovered his passion for graphic arts and interactive design while working in food and paying his way through school. He soon realized that he had to gain some technical experience, fast. He was offered a postion working on IT projects for Y2K and technical support for various Houston based companies. During that time, Stephen began teaching himself any Adobe app that he could get his hands on. In 2001, he landed a job in Austin working at Prodigy Communications as a network security manager. After spending a couple of years in Austin, he decided to join the Army to travel and look for inspiration, elsewhere. Aside from the self-taught design experience, he is formally trained in interactive and print design — currently residing in San Antonio.
