Stephanie is the Studio Creative Director and Brand Expert. Stephanie has been designing award winning designs and branding campaigns for over 10 years. She began her career in Tucson with Red Bus Marketing as an entry level designer and worked her way up to Creative Director. When Red Bus merged to form Commotion Studios Stephanie remained Creative Director of the now all inclusive creative studio expanding her skills in web design, flash animation and broadcast marketing advertising. As a native of Tucson she loves many things about the city and the desert, but she is excited about relocating to San Diego.  "There is a positive and artistic energy to San Diego", says Stephanie, "I am happy to call it my new home, to get the opportunity to work with local companies and national companies and at the end of the day to be able to kick back and enjoy a beer with great friends." Stephanie is a member of AIGA and has won multiple Addy awards for her design over the years, but what keeps her going is a passion for great art, design, illustration and business.
