Testimonials

Stefan has consistently helped us to move the needle over the past 2 years at Ellucian: his design skills and strategy experience helped to mature our design system and his Webflow wizardry brought us motion expertise. Any team should consider themselves lucky to work with Stefan!
Lacey Gerard, Experience Design Manage at Ellucian
I have been working along side Stefan for just short of 5 years and they've been the most impactful years in my career so far. He's the only person I know in this business who somehow manages to perform like a machine and at the same time stay human. He works harder than anyone I've ever known and cares deeply about the work we do. He's incredibly passionate, has his finger on every pulse of our industry and has a wealth of inspiration and knowledge that's impossible to keep up with. He makes me want to be a better creative and a better person, every day.
Alison Medland, IDEO
I have worked with many creative people, both art directors and writers, and Stefan is that rare gem that makes the job of managing easy and worthwhile. He is a great talent visually and conceptually, and is one of the most thoughtful, insightful creatives I know. There is no challenge that he cannot meet and it always seems that the bigger the load, the more creative and productive he is.
