Official Bio:
Stephanie coordinates our accounts, billing and the space we call our second home. With the ability to translate the language of all of the steps of a project from start to finish, along with first-hand knowledge of project conception, media production, and visual output, she brings a fresh eye for the business, and additional efficiency and creativity to Brand Cool.
Before joining Brand Cool, Stephanie gained experience in a variety of media-related positions varying from event photographer to screenprinter to freelance graphic designer. Fresh out of school, Stephanie’s recent education has given her the edge to stay ahead of the curve and think the way the client does as well as the client’s customers.
Stephanie graduated with honors from Rochester Institute of Technology, earning a BFA in Visual Media while focusing her studies in Print Media, Graphic Design and Business Administration.
Unofficial Bio:
Why did you choose this career?
I’m a visual person intrigued by the affective qualities of marketing, and when I learned about Brand Cool and what we do, I wanted to be behind it.
What is your favorite food?
Anything my boyfriend and I make together. Sometimes we try to get too creative and really mess it up, but either way we have fun. Go ahead and ask me about my white baked ziti!
What is your favorite book?
I could read The Fountainhead over and over again, but I also enjoy geekery like graphic novels or classic fiction, and I’m currently reading Brief Interviews with Hideous Men by David Foster Wallace.
It would surprise people to know that you:
Are a black belt in Kenpo.
Besides Brand Cool, your other passions are:
Family, friends, food and fun. And alliteration.
Suddenly blessed with a day off and no limitations of time, space or cash, you would:
Wake up in Ireland and have a full Irish breakfast, see the “Phantom of the Opera” when it was first on the stage, spend the afternoon walking the streets of Florence, get a cup of tea with Geoffrey Chaucer and then end the day with a picnic under a meteor shower with fine Riesling wines and spreadable cheeses.
