Bio

I have a strong admiration for creatives of all sorts, including makeup artists, florists, interior designers, and photographers. In 2017, I began my personal journey into the creative industries and started my job at Have A Seat as an event design associate and in 2019, I started working as a floral creator and digital marketer for Silk Plant Decor and More. I have always been an outgoing, hard-working, and ambitious individual. Whether these traits come from being raised by two dedicated entrepreneurs or having the natural desire to get moving, I am very proud of how far these qualities have taken me. I am fascinated by psychology and mental health literacy. I spend my spare time exploring mental health topics, including emotional skills, positive behaviour, mental health conditions, and self-care.

Stephanie worked on our digital marketing and content creation project. She delivered more than I expected. I would certainly hire her again when the opportunity comes along.

Team feedback
Stephanie was great to work with throughout the process. She communicated clearly about her skills and abilities and followed through by delivering more than I imagined. She showed adaptability and flexibility throughout and a willingness to collaborate with other team members. She was tasked with creating a new logo for us. To do this she selected images that the business can choose from that met our requirements for different platforms. She uploaded the graphics to platforms we were using and when there was difficulties in doing so she showed she was a problem solver by coming up with different solutions. Then she was asked to create a guidebook. After a short meeting of listening to my needs she came up with content that was suitable for the guidebook and we worked through iterations of it and the final product was more than I expected. On top of that she created additional content that our business can use on other platforms at a later date. I am happy to say her contributions as a social media designer and content creator has helped my business to be more competitive and have an attractive presence.
