I was born & raised on an island with hurricanes, mosquitos and flailing electricity. So when all you have is darkness and a flashlight 🔦 coming up with ideas quickly is like second nature to me.

Over the past 12+ years, I’ve worked from fashion houses (Vogue, Style.com, Teen Vogue) to the ad world (GREY, McCann New York). Having started my career in NYC, I’ve had the opportunity to work on global brands and well-known campaigns across several markets. I’m currently living in Amsterdam and working at Boomerang/Publicis (previously MediaMonks, DEPT) where I continue to come up with ideas, problem-solve and take brands to the next level from concept to execution. 

International living has shaped me as a creative with a pulse for what makes people “tick”. Whether I’m learning a new language, mixing a Latin Trap/Electronic set or documenting a 280km solo hike from Portugal to Spain…I’m always trying something new. Stepping into multiple worlds influences my work: making it more colorful, authentic, effective and thought-provoking. Or maybe it’s my rising Gemini, who knows.

As my good friend André Alves Afonso once said: “Start talking to Stephanie more often, you’ll stop watching Netflix.” Let’s grab a drink, you decide if he’s wrong or not.
