Hello, I’m Stephanie, a multidisciplinary Designer, Art Director and Creative Lead working in London.

I solve creative challenges for brands within the disciplines of Design, Video, Art Direction and Illustration.

Over the last 8 years I have put my skills to use for clients including the BBC, Channel 4, Nestle, Vodafone, Novotel and the United Nations.

After graduating from Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art I set up as a freelancer. During this time I was shortlisted for an Adobe Design Achievement Award for The Encyclopedia Of Aquatic Affairs. I also directed playful, thought-provoking YouTube videos for The School of Life contributing to rapid channel growth, and animated content for clients such as BBC Bitesize and Nestle. In my spare time I rediscovered the joy of playing with my food (sorry mum) to concoct viral stop-motion videos on Vine, leading to brand partnerships with Fox Searchlight Pictures.

I then came across an opportunity to join the brand team at Wonderbly, where we produced delightful online and offline brand-led marketing content, including producing a newspaper written entirely by children and distributing it around the world.

After four years inspiring people to eat more plants in my role as Art Director & Creative Lead at allplants I’ve been busy building campaigns at Carwow and currently scheming on a brand identity refresh and activations at Napo.

"Steph is one of those rare, inspiring people that oozes talent with apparent ease. Nothing fazes her. She just gets on with it and the results are always amazing. Her work is fresh because she has the confidence to let her personality and unique taste drive it forward, instead of succumbing to cliché or expectations. If someone asked me if they should hire her to do something, I’d say yes without even knowing what that something was. And she does this without ego, always respecting the opportunity and learning as she goes. Be more Steph." Andy Whitlock - Founder, The Human Half

“I believe Steph really captures the qualities of the great leaders - Churchill, Napoleon Bonaparte - only with less bloodshed." Barry Lattimore-Quinn - Copy Lead, Wise

“Steph is a very thoughtful and considerate creative leader, striving for the highest standards of quality and execution, while always applying a commercial filter to ideas. Steph’s thoughts are highly prized by me and those around her.” Katie McLurg - Head of Brand, CarWow

“Steph is a strong team player, always seeking to deliver high quality work for herself and those around her. When working in the studio the results speak for themselves; Steph really knows how to get the best out of the shot and the team with top notch art direction.” Valentina Concordia, Photographer

“I have so much admiration, respect and appreciation for everything you bring to allplants team and progress to-date” JP - Founder, allplants
