Hey there, I’m Stefanie!
(My mom chose the spelling after her numerologist told her an “f” would be more fortuitous than a “ph” for me. 🤷♀️ It was the ‘70s in LA, man…)
I’m your multi-talented partner in web design, combining brand strategy, copywriting, media production, and design skills for passionate “solopreneurs” and small businesses.
I take pride in guiding you through the web design process with a combination of expertise and enthusiasm, ensuring that your website not only looks fantastic but truly reflects your unique value.
When I step away from the digital world, I turn up on the dance floor or singing in a variety of venues (e.g. for a crowd, in the car, on the stage). And every night you’ll catch me tackling the NYT suite of puzzles.
If you're ready to turn your web presence into something exceptional, let's join forces and get started!"
A slice of the hundreds and hundreds of stories I placed in local and national media outlets.
Highlights of my life in PR
Getting stalked by an enraged woman while an intern at Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
Asking Mikhail Baryshnikov to remove his street shoes before entering the dance rehearsal room at Cal Performances.
Photoshopping the nipples off the female dancers in the Tanztheater Wuppertal images so they could run in the (pious) American papers.
Declining marriage arrangement offers extended to Yo-Yo Ma (made by very well-meaning mothers) while he was in residence for the West Coast premiere of The Silk Road Project.
Directing national press reps (such as the New York Times) around horse poop for the remounting of a 17th-century horse ballet.
Wiping drool off my face in the presence of ABT soloist (and Charlie from Center Stage) dreamboat Sascha Radetsky.
Meeting Rita Moreno before the West Coast launch of AileyCamp and having a full half hour of one-on-one convo.
Getting manhandled by the mother of a performer when she showed up late and wasn’t allowed into the theatre. (Names withheld to protect the guilty.)
Watching 5 fully made-up clowns emerge from the misty woods at 4am and welcoming them into my car for early morning Ringling Brothers TV promotions.
Coordinating the Bay Area fly-over coverage for the raising of the world’s largest tented-touring show.
Welcoming hundreds of internationally renowned singers, dancers, theatre makers, ensembles, orchestras, ice skaters, and animals to the Bay Area to tell their stories.

a few of my favorite things…
Sipping & Stomping
Living wine-country adjacent has allowed for much (too much?) time with grapes and their delicious renderings.
Running & Racing
I started running as an adult. I am by no means fast, but it’s a great feeling to cross the finish line.
Travel & Leisure
Petting wombats, spectacular sunsets, and sleeping in ryokan are favorite memories. More of this please.
