YoStella: Build a Better Business - Inspiration for Improving Your Brand, Marketing & People

Each year on Fat Tuesday, New Orleans throws a “Stella and Stanley” party. This annual event honors local boy and world-famous author Tennessee Williams and his masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire.

The movie version is notorious for the scene where Stanley, Marlon Brando in a tight white vest, yells “Stella-a-a-a-a-!” up the tenement stairs to his wife. “Stella” might be the most repeated movie line ever and Brando never needed to act again except, he said, for the money. Like a legendary actor, businesses need to cultivate their craft: building an amazing brand, elevating creativity, and growing authentic connections.

At StellaPop, we believe every business has a masterpiece in them.

I’m a type-lovin’, tuba-playin’ protagonist of fundamental design principles. From the beginning of my career, where print media still ruled the content war to the digital user experience trends that change weekly, I’ve been in the thick of it all. And for the past 17 years, I’ve helped elevate corporate identities through the power of good design.

Before joining the powerhouse StellaPop team in 2015, I was Deputy Art Director for Hanley Wood Media and later shifted to creative agency life at Hirshorn Zuckerman Design Group. Today, I enjoy the best of both worlds designing for companies that are in their infancy to mega-million dollar businesses looking to refresh their established brands. Having this spectrum of work enables me to view each client and every branding project through different lenses, further evolving their business and my craft.
