Hi! I’m Stacey.

For the past several years I have focused on being a Digital Designer – websites, social media, email marketing – but that’s not to say I am not equally excited about print collateral, packaging and signage. Let’s say I don’t fit in just one box.

As the definition of a designer keeps growing, so does my skill set. Video creation and editing, social media marketing and building a website to be a resource have been my main focus over the past couple of years. I enjoy learning techniques and technology. I like to work efficient and organized. Mostly, I like to collaborate to deliver the best possible solution for a client. There’s nothing like that ”shine” moment when you know you’ve delivered your best work.

I currently reside in North Carolina, working remotely or on sight. When I am not working with a client, I am helping my family operate our wine touring company ”UNCORKED,” which is so much fun. We have gorgeous vineyards and fantastic wine in our region, so when I’m not designing, walking my dogs or reading, I am sippin’ on some award-winning wine.

Please take a look at my work experience and portfolio to get a better idea of my skills and capabilities. Let’s create together!
