STEF is a freelance director and 
advertising creative.



ABOUT / CONTACT
I'm a film director and creative director whose work lives in the physical: sport, powersport, active apparel, and the outdoors. I carry a certain grit into everything I make, work rooted in movement, sweat, and touch. That instinct draws me toward subjects that are tactile and earned; brands made to move are my passion and expertise. 

I started in ad agencies as a creative and still help concept campaigns rooted in strategy and execution. I partner with agencies to sharpen concepts and direct them through to the screen, and with brand teams who need agency-style thinking when creating branded films.

Friendly. 
Bilingual. 
O-1 Visa. 
No food allergies.
