Hi! I’m Stephanie. I’m a motion designer based in Brooklyn, New York.
I specialize in 2D animation and illustration for commercial and editorial projects, and love combining the warmth of handmade techniques with the refinement of digital tools. With experience directing the design and animation for many of my projects, I enjoy working on all stages of production from concept to execution.
Originally from Atlanta, I moved to Providence to study at Rhode Island School of Design and Brown University, where I created my first animated short film. Since then I have worked as a freelancer in the New York City area, and in my eleven years in the industry, I’ve been fortunate to work with clients from a range of industries, including advertising, journalism, and documentary film. I’m always excited to talk about animation and meet new collaborators, so please reach out at any time!
When I’m not in the studio, I’m probably drawing in my sketchbook, going for a run, or exploring a new part the city.
