TESTIMONIALS

What my collaborators say

  • Stephanie is a talented and passionate brand and design leader. I've had the pleasure of working with her as our manager of brand design at At-Bay since I joined the team in 2022, and she has continued to push the envelope in both our visual design language and our overall connection to the business. She has led multiple transformative projects in the corporate marketing team, including a rethinking of our entire style guide (managing the work with our design agency partners), providing leadership across our entire company through training and guidelines; as well as multiple new initiatives, around thought leadership and content marketing campaigns and a series of over-performing brand ad campaigns across paid social, OOH and display. And, through it all, she's an amazing colleague and a great mentor to her team!

  • Stephanie was my manager for 2 years, and during that time, her leadership and support have been exceptional. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure I feel both supported and inspired in my role as a designer. What I truly appreciate the most about Stephanie is her unwavering dedication to my career growth and development. She provides constructive feedback in a way that encourages improvement while reminding me of the great value of my work. Her ability to guide our team through challenges, while simultaneously empowering my confidence and creativity as a designer, has had a tremendous impact on my professional growth. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to any team looking for a leader who is not only highly skilled in what she does, but also genuinely invested in the success of her people.

  • Stephanie is a cross-functional leader, the steady hand powering brand design at At-Bay. Ego-free, she’s my counterpart on the marketing side of the company, and our teams collaborate frequently on project work and the shared design system that informs our service platforms and communications. She’s also a dear friend. Equally capable managing executives and reports, Stephanie elevates every discussion with her insights, kindness and preparation. She’s also a brilliant designer, turning out elegant and impactful work with her own team and the vendors she employs. Her contributions have brought both industry recognition and substantial revenue to the company - she’s a solid resource my colleagues and I depend on.

  • I’ve had the privilege to have Stephanie as my manager for over a year now, and would call myself extremely lucky to be able to learn from someone so talented, wise, and kind. Stephanie has, from the minute I joined Chegg, always made me feel welcome and continues to push me to be a better co-worker, designer, social media manager, and person. She doesn’t hesitate to give constructive feedback but also reminds me of how valuable the work I’m doing is. Stephanie is a collaborative leader, and does not hesitate to take on tasks out of her wheelhouse. Her passion, creativity, and stellar communication skills would make Stephanie a valued asset to any team, and I'm so grateful to have been able to work with her.

  • Stephanie is one of the most talented, creative, and hard working designers I've had the privilege of working with. She cares deeply about her work, approaches design process systematically, and is a strong relationship-builder and collaborator with key stakeholders across the business. Not only is Stephanie a talented designer, she is also a proven manager and leader. During her time on my team, she never stopped thinking of ways to scale her team, develop her people, and ensure a positive work environment. I strongly recommend Stephanie for any design, creative director, or manager role.
