Stephanie Bellay
Art Director
San Francisco, CA, USAI have deemed the chameleon to be my design spirit animal due to my extensive agency experience. I'm able to understand a brand's strategy, voice and goals and align my design to support that vision. My solutions are holistic and live strongly throughout the entire lifespan of a campaign. I work best in a zone of collaboration with strategist, copywriters and account directors who bring their expertise to the table. I believe the best results are created through intersectional design.
