I have had the opotunity to work with Stephania on several university projects and I have also osberved her working on projects on her own and I must say she has always strived to bring a creative element to every single aspect of any project. She is also someone who always tries to break any boundries when it comes to the creative process and has been the driving force within most teams. Stefania is very organised and always motivates her teammates to finish on time, to stay inspired and to present a great end product. I recommend you work with her and you will be greatly satisfied.

I've gotten to know Stephania as a passionate and driven personality. Since the first moment she joined I noticed a good work ethic and strong motivation to go above and beyond. I would be more than happy to work with Stephania again in the future.
