Stacey's contributions to building strategic infrastructure for enterprise communications during her time at National Vision were incredible. She was always looking ahead, thinking about the bigger picture and advising on industry best practices - all while leading creative print and digital projects in a fast-paced, high pressure environment. Stacey is a team player with a positive energy that any organization would be lucky to have!

Stacey is a talented and versatile designer with impressive project management skills. She understands brands and how to visually communicate them. She designs effective infographics that are more than just illustrations; they really help readers understand the information, even when the information is highly technical or complex. And she does equally impressive work when tackling book-length projects. Stacey has a talent for understanding what the user -- as well as other stakeholders -- need from a project, and a gift for delivering on that through visual presentation. She is a strong leader, and one of those rare big-picture visionaries who also has a strong command of the details that can make or break a project in implementation. She has the confidence and the competence to work effectively with people at every level of an organization, from editors and subject matter experts to C-suite officers. I always know my publications are in good hands with Stacey.

Stacey is a person that you can always depend on for execellent work and creative thinking. She is miles ahead of others when it comes to understanding a product for she understands the marketing side that makes a project successful. I have found that few designers dig deep into the minds of the targeted audiences. Stacy has an uncanny way of understanding exactly what is needed and presents you exactly what you wanted in an effortless manner. She was an excellent find for me and consider myself fortunate in knowing and working with her.

I had the pleasure of working with Stacey for nearly two years at GE Capital. The creative and technical quality of her work, the relationships she built with both internal and external clients, and her work ethic were key reasons we were able to grow as a studio and expand our client base. I learned so much from her as a colleague and designer, and would work with her again in a heartbeat.
