Testimonials
A few words from people I've worked with
Stefania is a great, well rounded and reliable designer. Her grasp of the end to end product design cycle really aides in the simplification and streamlined development process.
She is equally as capable with CX design as she is with UI and brings a balanced approach to the conversation. Stefi always keeps the customer front of mind however truly appreciates the need of getting value to our users when they need it most. Stefania was a great communicator and worked well with both business and tech teams.
I would be pleased to have Stefi work on any of my projects anytime.
Bill (Bilal) Obeid
Program Manager at MLC
Stefania is an organised, energetic and passionate designer. Her approach to design is refreshing and she takes pride in producing beautiful work. Stefi always met aggressive project timelines with little fuss, good humour and was always a pleasure to work with and a real asset to the creative team at Next Digital.
Naiad Angel
Head of Marketing, Brand & Communications at Regent's University London
As the Creative Director at Next Digital, I managed and mentored Stefi directly, nurturing her skills in graphic design, user experience, marketing and strategy. Stefi is incredibly talented, constantly offering new ideas and concepts into every job she undertook, ensuring that the quality level not only honoured the brief, but excelled all expectations.
Watching Stefi grow as a genius designer was one of the genuinely pleasurable and inspiring elements of my time at Next Digital and I highly recommend her as a designer.

During my time at Next Digital, my clients always took their creative with next to no amendments. This was always a great sign that Stefania could easily interpret any brief and had great interactions with any client.
I would gladly recommend Stefania to any prospective employer.

She is very accommodating and understands the workings of an agency along with managing multiple expectations. She has been a complete pleasure to work with during our time together at Next Digital and will be an asset to any account manager she works with.

Stefi is a pleasure to work with. She's highly creative, is able to translate the written brief into a stunning creative design and has a positive can-do attitude. She's hard working and loyal with a sense of commitment and a strong work ethic.
Nicky Scott
Director, Engagement at Salesforce
I had the privilege of working with Stefania during the six years she spent at WDG Alfresco and Next Digital.
Stef produced some great creative work for our customers, while being co-operative with everyone else on the team, always putting in the hard work to get a project complete, and impressing the clients that we met with.
For me, the thing that set Stef apart was the knowledge, understanding and consideration she gave to the other aspects of a project that did not relate purely to creative design, and this allowed us greater efficiency and better results overall in delivering a project.
