I applied my experience in branding to global companies and local businesses. With my knowledge of marketing and communications I help my clients develop and reposition their brands. I worked with them to develop new business models, concepts and products. Projects include branding, full corporate identity development, print, advertising campaign, websites, mobile content, social media campaign, promotional material (brochure, cards, posters, etc..), DVD/CD packaging, storyboard designs for medical applications and newspapers design.

I held a full time position of Branding/Creative Director for Star Management/AGT International, a global B2B security company which gross 4 billion dollars in contracts annually. Star Management consists of 10 subsidiary companies located in the major cities around the globe which one associates with power and security. As a group they specialize in: Critical Asset Urban & Border Security; Urban Management; Anti-Crime; Anti-Terrorism; Maritime Security; Cyber-Security; Food Security; and Health Emergency Management. Their clients include countries, cities, state, presidents, princes and mayors. My job was to create the branding and develop the visual communication strategies for all 10 companies after they decided to give the company "a public face."

I was hired to built the creative department from the ground-up. I ran the department like a mini-agency, serving each of the 10 companies like clients. I worked directly with each of the 10 CEO's, including a Prince, a Nobel Prize Laureate, and many high-level government decision makers from around the world. I was responsible for the entire process from conceptualization to global implementation.

Temporary assignment.
I designed collateral, ad campaigns, flyers, poster, bill inserts, newsletters and web banners.
Even though the position was heavy in pre-press and production,
it still required an artistic eye for detail, common sense and an extreme proficiency with graphic software.

Maura Wise // Art Manager at Anthem says:
"We had the pleasure of Stephane working on our staff as a Freelance Graphic Designer. She was able to take any assignment given to her and run with it in a very clear, creative professional manner. Whether she was making changes to tedious channel lineups or designing a job from scratch, I could always count on it being done on time and designed beautifully."

I developed the media department for the media start-up LANA, the US division of the global media firm Hachette Filipacchi, which specialized in multimedia products (mobile content, chat and games). I worked with their partners to develop individual strategies for each advertising placement. Media placements includes Vibe, XXL, King, Scratch, Elle Girl, Complex, Sound&Vision, Premiere, Car and Driver and other magazines targeting the 15 to 30-year-old demographic. I managed the workflow of multiple ads on tight deadlines. I created and managed the in-house digital photo/image library/catalog system for their American database. I designed and implemented their graphic guidelines for an ongoing, multi-million dollar ad campaign.

John Seeley // Weekend Editor at Newsweek says:
"Stephane is a creative, forceful design professional who brought strong ideas and a dedicated work ethic to the newsroom. She was a quick study in mastering the system at the Sun and managed to excel at her tasks on tight deadline even while dealing with outside projects and, for a time, a pressing personal issue. Stephane would never shy away from sharing her views on how a product could be improved."

James Glasgow // Publisher at East Kilbride Post Ltd says:
"For those that know Steph you'll understand when I say that she's 'someone you want on your team'. Smart, creative, outrageously talented, fun. A rare breed – you couldn't ask for a better friend in the trenches."
