Creative Director
Experiential Designer
Spatial Storyteller
I’m Stephanie—a visionary designer crafting unforgettable brand experiences that connect, inspire, and endure.
With deep spatial and experiential design expertise, I bring bold ideas to life at the intersection of strategy and creativity. From concept to execution, I transform abstract visions into tangible, impactful moments that leave lasting impressions.
My journey spans from a small Wyoming town to projects on five continents, shaping the future of iconic brands like Yahoo, Twitter, and Hasbro. Whether leading in-house teams or driving innovation at top agencies, I’ve mastered the art of blending storytelling and design to reimagine how people engage with the world around them.
I’m a boundary-pusher, rule-bender, and passionate maker who thrives on mixing ideas, materials, and, occasionally, metaphors. Collaborating with inspiring people fuels my creativity—their energy, perspectives, and ingenuity keep me constantly evolving. Life’s too short to play it safe, so I embrace a little chaos and a lot of creativity in everything I do.
Armed with an Environmental and Spatial Experience degree from ArtCenter College of Design and MBA coursework at INSEAD, I seamlessly blend artistry with strategy. I specialize in turning trends into tangible magic—whether it’s a boldly branded pop-up, a reimagined workspace, or even a dining table covered in glitter and glue.
As a mother (my most cherished role) and a trend forecaster always chasing “what’s next,” I’m passionate about creating experiences that are as fresh as they are meaningful. Every project starts with a story, and I find joy in crafting connections through care, creativity, and a dash of rule-breaking brilliance.
And yes, my last name is really Stalker—a perfect icebreaker, don’t you think?
My Toolbox
A passionate collaborator and love to push boundaries— environmental design and spatial experience are my special sauce.
-
Every project kicks off with a spark—an inspired, informed, and oh-so-clever strategy. From brand campaigns to product launches and everything in between, I dive into the who, what, how, and (most importantly) why to create a roadmap that feels as good as it works.
-
Catching trends before they hit the mainstream? That’s my jam. Whether it’s a color, texture, or vibe, I know how to take “what’s next” and shape it into designs that make people stop, double-tap, and maybe even pin it to their inspo boards.
-
Colors, textures, shapes, and fonts are my storytelling tools. I craft cohesive visual languages that bring brands and ideas to life—whether it’s in a physical space, a killer activation, or a scroll-stopping post.
-
Big ideas meet boots-on-the-ground skills. With Adobe Creative Suite, 3D software, and a knack for picking the perfect materials, I take projects from wild concept to "wow, it’s real!"—complete with build drawings, physical installations, and all the creative magic in between.
-
Teamwork makes the dream work! Whether it’s brainstorming big ideas or problem-solving on-site, I thrive on working with brilliant people to turn visions into reality. Oh, and tight timelines? Bring it on—I love a good creative challenge.
