Overview
I am a California-based book designer + art director. With over a decade experience in the publishing and marketing industries, I can bring your book design vision to life! I'm your eagle-eyed typography expert, always on the lookout for the latest trends to craft eye-catching, and meaningful work. I am super organized and my clients enjoy working with me as I'm booked with many repeat jobs. I specialize in non-fiction book design and have experience working on several issues of both a food magazine + interior design magazine. I am open to any new types of projects as well. Would love to see what we can come up with together!
What to expect:
• Organized process, schedule, communication, collaboration + project management
• Full cover, interior, design + production (as needed)
• Set number of rounds of revisions to incorporate feedback in a timely manner
• Final working files at delivery stage

Client review:
"Besides being a consummate professional and a creative spirit, Stephanie is a joy to work with. She brings enthusiasm to every project, no matter how great or small, and always works in a collegial and collaborative manner.
We really can’t imagine what it would be like to not have Stephanie on our team. She inspires us with her talent and her creative touch makes every project better."
- Robert Lara, Director for Communications: Metropolitan New York Synod
Callisto Media colleague review:
"I first met Stephanie in person during her initial Callisto Media training in Emeryville and was immediately impressed with her positive attitude and very likable personality. By chance, she was also in my weekly workshop where art directors, art producers and production designers from both offices were able to share work and brainstorm ideas. It was here that I witnessed her abilities, not only in design but also her pragmatic approach to workflow obstacles. She has the rare ability to whittle down a seemingly large problem to a very simple solution. Sometimes, with one click of a mouse. There were many “Aha!” moments when Stephanie was involved."
- Darren Samuel, Art Director: Callisto Media
