Sidebar Creative
A big fear of mine when going solo was that I would miss working in a group environment. I like collaboration, and feed off other peoples ideas. That’s why I’m so excited to announce Sidebar Creative.
Sidebar is composed of Dan Rubin, Jonathan Snook, Bryan Veloso, and myself.
From a client’s perspective, the four of us will have equal shares in input on a project. We each have particular strengths, and will together create a better product than we could individually. From our perspective, it’s exciting to work and collaborate with some of the best minds in the business.
Yes, the four of us will be keeping our individual businesses, and nothing will change from that point of view. But we all feel that there’s a gap between Freelancers and Agencies that needs to be filled, and that’s our intent. I’m very excited about our potential, and just how easy it’s been to work with these guys. We really understand each other, our medium, and what it takes to be successful.
See what the other guys have to say:
So check out the site, and if you need some web work done, let us know. We’re ready to help you out.
Awesome news!
Every one of you, on an individual basis, are extremely creative. Combining your talents, methodologies and unique perspectives into this seems to me like a perfect business/creative strategy.
I sincerely wish you all the best and know you’ll contribute a lot of wonderful things (aesthetically and logically pleasing) for the web.

AWESOME news, Steve. I heard about the annoucement on Bryan’s blog. You guys are going to be a force to be reckoned with.
January 25th, 2007
Congrats! It’s looking awesome.

I don’t mean to steal your thunder, guys, but I think this is a good time to mention that I am forming my own “supergroup.” It’ll be called Ride the Snake; and it will feature myself, Ricki Rockett (of Poison), Erik Turner (of Warrant), Slash, and Ted Nugent.
We are going to lay waste to the web design establishment!

Congrats! The new site and logo look spiffy. I have one suggestion to make: you might want to include some alt tags in the lightbox links. You know, in keeping up with the new web’s accessibility and all. ;)

I could be dead wrong, but I swear Steve designed the Sidebar Creative site.
January 26th, 2007
Man, this is huge. Congrats Steve – this should definitely help kick-start your full-time freelance career. Amazing!

Wow, this is going to be a good one. I wish I could work with you guys ;]

Congratulations Steve. I have no doubt you guys will collectively raise the bar (and have a lot of fun doing it!).

Congratulations. I’ve been following several of your sites and enjoying your projects for months now. I simply can’t wait to see what kind of work such a collaboration can accomplish. You’ll make waves I’m sure.

Congrats Steve. Just as I mentioned to Bryan, you are also an incredible designer all by yourself. I’m already excited to see the types of things that the four of you will be coming up with this year and in the future.
