I am older than I look.
I’ve worked every job in an ad agency—accounts, strategy, copywriting, art direction and production. I spent 5 years as a writer/director for Pinterest’s award winning in-house agency House of Creative. I am a comedy director who deeply values design and art direction, skills I honed during my years with Sagmeister and Walsh.
I’m obsessed with filmmaking, Bob Fosse, the color orange, blocking, dance, theater, clowning, physical comedy and silent movies. Many call me Old Steph, most likely because my essence is that of an 88-year-old New Yorker who hates technology and wears a lot of pin striped clothing (yes, I love and have met Fran Lebowitz).
