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

With over 12 years of experience, I’ve art directed for fashion icons (Vogue, Teen Vogue) and creative powerhouses (GREY, McCann New York). Starting my career in NYC, I’ve worked on global brands and campaigns across multiple markets. Now based in Amsterdam, I’m creative directing at LePub/Publicis (formerly at MediaMonks, DEPT), where I craft stories that spark conversation for clients, brands and ✨beyond✨.

Creativity’s been my ride-or-die since day one. It’s how I make sense of the world and turn nothing into something. I chase it relentlessly—through new cities, new languages, oil painting, cooking, or hiking 280km from Portugal to Spain. I’m always chasing experiences that spark new ideas and fuel work that feels richer, more relatable, and globally connected. Best of all, I love doing it alongside others that are just as obsessed. To this day, bringing ideas to life still feels like magic to me.

As my good 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 tell me what you think.
