About Steve Radtke

I\'m a creative director, maker, ideator, leader, and mentor. I make amazing stuff that connects people to their passions and brings them into stories they love. I\'m obsessed with the intersection of Story, Experience, and Play.Over 20 years as a marketing and design professional. 8 years as an Experiential Creative Director creating work for the biggest brands in the world.12 years as a maker and owner of Valor Replicas building narrative objects for collectors, studios, and agencies.I\'ve led countless creative teams on the journey to story-driven experiences that move brands forward. But the best stuff I do seems to come at the intersection of story, experience, and play. When you can hook people with a story they care about, in an experience that makes it real, and give them permission to be curious, to explore. to play. It\'s magic.
