ABOUT

BIO

Hi there. I’m Stef. I’m an award winning Art Director and Filmmaker; a hybrid creative that enjoys concepting ideas and bringing them to life behind a camera.

I cut my teeth in NYC where I learned the ropes of insights, ideas and tactics, and have since spent over 15 years in and out of some of the most recognized creative agencies in the US and Canada.

After feeling like a third-wheel on set for too long, I picked up a camera (and surrounded myself with talented crew) and began directing in 2018. Since then, I’ve shot films in Africa for Bombardier, documentaries for Sea Shepherd that helped ban commercial fishing off the coast of France and built entire film divisions for global agencies.

When do you call me ?

1. When you need a senior, conceptual art director.
2. When you need a never-say-die production partner.
3. When you need a little of both.
