Bio
Aaron Bramwell
Steph is the best -- it's that simple. I had the privilege of working with Stephanie for over 4 years during her tenure at Monkee-Boy and watched her grow every single day of her career from an entry level marketing specialist to one of our most trusted design resources. She is without a doubt one of the hardest working, committed, eager to learn, willing to step up, dependable in a pinch, optimistic, personable and fun loving human beings I have worked with in my career and would highly recommend her, without reservation.

I've had the pleasure of working with Stephanie for almost four years at Monkee-Boy, and am consistently impressed by her ingenuity and drive to do high quality work. She started at Monkee-Boy in Marketing, but it was a pretty quick and obvious transition to Design, where she has helped push, challenge, and grow the department in ways we couldn't have otherwise. She consistently encourages exploration and innovation within the company, whether it is introducing ideas to help streamline workflow or attending industry events and presenting her findings internally. Stephanie also has the gift of being both analytical and empathetic, which are essential qualities in human centered design. Her work is thorough, data-driven, and without ego. Because of her strength in user experience, she's also lead the initiative within the Monkee-Boy team to incorporate UX practices and philosophies into every project, regardless of the size or budget. It's rare and special to find an individual so passionate and curious about their craft, even moreso when they encourage and inspire their team to do the same. I consider myself lucky to have worked with her!
