Hi, I’m Stephanie.
Creative producer, strategist, photographer, and experiential marketing leader based in New York City.
I combine an artistic background from Parsons School of Design with more than a decade of experience across live events, educational programming, video production, commercial imaging, and brand partnerships.
I develop ideas, build the teams and systems that make them real, and lead projects from early concept through final execution. My work is grounded in collaboration, clarity, and memorable audience experiences.
Art practice
My photographic work explores the relationship between truth, simulation, reflection, and constructed imagery. By combining photographed, rendered, manipulated, and found visual material, I question photography’s traditional role as evidence.

Lexar x AFA Soccer Fan Zone
Developed in close partnership with Lexar and the Argentina Football Association, this multi-zone retail experience translated the energy surrounding international soccer in New York City into an educational and participatory customer event.
The experience
I led the experiential direction and in-store execution while collaborating with Lexar on the broader concept. Together, we developed a program that combined an educational panel and discussion, a live photography demonstration, football freestyle performances, a look-alike contest, giveaways, and interactive activations throughout the store.

Mother’s Day Magic on the High Line
Developed in partnership with Nikon, SanDisk, and the High Line, this Mother’s Day activation connected hands-on photography education with product discovery and an experiential journey through New York City.
150+ attendees participated in the program.
The experience
Led by photographer Tina Sokolovska, the workshop began in the retail environment, where participants received guidance, borrowed Nikon equipment, and connected with brand and gear experts. The group then moved to the High Line for a live photography workshop featuring two models before returning to the store for additional product engagement, SanDisk activations, giveaways, and ice cream.

Commercial Eyewear Photography & Retouching
Product photography, high-end retouching, color correction, magazine collaboration, ecommerce imaging, and print-ready production.
Credit note: Product-only imagery includes my photography and retouching. For model and children’s campaigns, my contribution focused on retouching and print preparation.
Art Practice
My work explores the space between observation and construction—using reflections, shadows, architecture, and shifting points of view to question how a photograph describes reality.
Reflections
Layered spaces where glass, interiors, architecture, and reflected streets collapse into a single frame.
Light, Architecture & Place
Photographs shaped by geometry, dramatic light, movement, and the built environment.
