A Sonoma County local, Stefanie grew up in an agricultural family volunteering at fundraising events from a young age, where she quickly discovered a love for community engagement. After graduating design school in Los Angeles, she began running Marketing Events for movie premieres at the world-renowned Cinerama Dome. She decided to bring her experience back to her roots in Sonoma County, working as a freelance marketing consultant & general manager of a popular brunch spot in the North Bay. There she developed a private catering and event program, utilizing a digital marketing plan to engage clients. When the 2017 Tubb’s fires hit, Stefanie felt called to action and tapped into her community to start SOCO Fire Relief, which became the largest donation drop off & redistribution center in Northern California.
In her free time, Stefanie enjoys heading to the coast with her boyfriend, Andy, to take their cattle dog, Stevie Nicks, on vista hikes in the sunshine. Her design school education fed her love of film, fashion & architecture and she can often be found on a FaceTime call helping friends & family pick out outfits or designing a new space! A true Californian, her newly found appreciation for biodynamic gardening has ushered her homelife into an era of fresh veggies, plants & pollinators, which bring a sense of gratitude to each day.
