About
Stephanie is a strategic and multidisciplinary designer with an eye for innovation. She spent 4.5 years at HBO, where she worked on projects ranging from VR, VUI, cross-platform feature design, and how all of these intersect with the HBO brand. She worked on Microsoft’s Ethics and Society team, working on AI, natural user interfaces, and mixed reality, then transitioned to a game studio in North Seattle called “very very spaceship.” Although her skill set is vast, her greatest expertise revolves around interaction design, UX, and motion graphics. Her wish is to combine her knowledge and experience in these areas to deliver the best creative solutions to her employer and their audiences. (Resume | LinkedIn)
