I was born and raised on an island with hurricanes, mosquitoes, and power outages. So when all you have is darkness and a flashlight 🔦, coming up with ideas quickly and resourcefully is second nature to me. Whatever you throw my way, I’ll figure it out 💅

With 15+ years of experience, I’ve art directed for fashion icons like Vogue and Teen Vogue, as well as creative powerhouses like GREY and McCann New York. After earning my stripes in NYC building global campaigns, I relocated to Amsterdam, where I’ve collaborated with LePub, Publicis, Media.Monks, DEPT, and Boomerang. Today, I work as a freelance Creative Director, shaping bold, culture-first stories that spark conversation across social and digital platforms.

For me, creativity isn’t a switch I turn off. I find fuel in exploring new cities, learning new languages, painting, cooking, or going on a spontaneous hike. Driven by curiosity, I’m always ready to bring ideas to life — whether they start on a napkin or go to the big screen. As my friend André Alves Afonso once put it: “Start talking to Stephanie more often and you’ll stop watching Netflix.”

Let’s grab a drink and make something worth talking about.

Languages: English, Spanish, en natuurlijk een beetje Nederlands 😉
