“Stefani is one of my favorite people. She’s a first class talent and a gracious team player. Stefani is able to see creative solutions where few others can, and able to find ways to encourage her team when few others would. If you hire Stefani and are not thrilled with the result, let me know and I’ll cover her fee myself.”

-Scott McAfee, Executive Creative Director, Sanders/Wingo Advertising, Austin, TX

“I was lucky enough to be one of the people responsible for bringing Stefani to Austin, and I’m sure the city will be eternally grateful to me as a result. As a GSD&M Creative Director on major retailer accounts, I brought her in from NYC based on her stellar portfolio. She didn’t disappoint. She and her partner successfully created integrated campaigns that were not only creatively compelling, but effective as well. Stefani worked on many projects targeting women, and is extremely strong in that area. Now, with her own growing company, she’s created smart, savvy work designed for a vast range of target audiences. She’s a quick, strategic and innovative thinker – a creative who gets the business side of things. I love how she thinks and writes and hope to work with her again in the future.”

-Carlotta Stankiewicz, Creative Director/Writer, GSD&M, Austin, TX

“Stefani came to GSDM from New York where she got some serious experience on Madison Avenue. I was thrilled to have her in the creative department. She was a seasoned writer even back then and was one of those go-to people you could just hand over a project to and know it would get done and done well. I particularly loved having her on the Norwegian Cruise Line account. There was a lot of writing on that account, in every medium, and Stef really kicked it. Highly recommend.”

-Luke Sullivan, former Group Creative Director at GSD&M, Austin, TX

“Behind Stefani’s cunning smile and bright eyes is a razor-sharp mind. She is the sort of person who listens intently and redirects a creative conversation back to a topic until it is fully resolved. She is determined and the consummate professional while at the same time being fun to work with and just plain excited to tackle an idea. In brief, I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

-David Wyatt, Business Director and Principal, Wyatt Brand, Inc., Austin, TX

“Years before meeting Stefani I fell in love with her work. I’d seen a few pieces in the award books and thought, ‘there’s a writer who can turn a small project into a big idea.’ No budgets necessary, just her sharp wit and a pencil. Even saved a jpeg of those ads in my “inspiration” folder. Then we met and I really fell in love with her work ethic. Her portfolio was no fluke. She works hard and skillfully on each project. When the brief was off, I could see it in her eyes and would go back and change it. She thinks strategically, writes clear, punchy headlines and always wears a smile… unless she was hungry. That was, well… a different story. So hire her. Pay her whatever she wants. She’s worth it. Keep her well fed though and trust her with your life, I know I did, and she’ll always deliver.”

-Dave Schafer, former Global Creative Director, Enfatico, Austin, TX

“It was such a pleasure to work with Stefani during the production of the commercial spots. I found her extremely creative and insightful with a wonderful sense of humor. 
In partnering with my Director, she and her team were collaborative, supportive and genuinely engaged in the process. Her agency process and creative were refreshing. 
Work with her!”


-Roka Music, Executive Producer, Region-C Productions, Austin, TX

“Throughout twenty years in the advertising business, I searched for a writing partner whose work when with mine, magnified the idea and became a whole thought. Idea alchemy. Stefani has never failed to bring concepts I could wrap my vision around and we’ve never failed to create great work together. She’s an incredible collaborator. 
Stefani was a partner to me on several occasions where others fell short or just never stepped up. I value Stefani as a creative professional who joins the process, not just a drive-by, drop-off writer. I know Stefani to be a versatile talent able to work across the entire spectrum of creative media opportunities. She’s responsive to direction and respects the vision of her partner. Any experience with her has moved the ball forward and I’m proud to recommend her to help you succeed too. She raised the bar for my expectations in a writing partner.”

-Patrick Nolan, former Associate Creative Director, GSD&M, Austin, TX

“Stefani’s writing was always super creative, full of depth and on time. We were working under crazy conditions and she would always deliver her work above and beyond our expectations. She is trustworthy with a capital T!”
