Hi!

I’m the creative unicorn that has been working in advertising since the good old days when everyone drove a Porsche and partied on the roof top of Hotel Martinez in Cannes. There isn’t much I haven’t seen in this business and I still love it.

After working as copywriter and creative director in big and creative agencies for ages I decided to study photography because why not. A big idea is still a big idea. Today I combine my skills in conceptual thinking with my knowledge from photography. Those two got married when AI suddenly came around the corner.

My brain is working in new and novel ways. AI makes it possible for me to express concepts and ideas without having to travel or needing a huge team - which is nice because I’m an introvert. Did I mention that I love dogs?

Mostly I work with advertising agencies and deliver images that are indistinguishable from photography. I can create pretty much everything in the desired mood, format, light, colours and seamlessly integrate products either by training my own AI models or simply photographing them. There is a solution for everything, just ask.

I’m also a language nerd and fluent in Swedish, English, German. And some French and Hebrew.

Besides that I’m German by birth and the german-ness is integrated into my backbone. Meaning: I deliver on time - except if someone drives over me with a truck or I see a homeless dog that needs help. (Just kidding, I would never be held up by a truck!)

Jesper Holst, Creative Founder Åkestam Holst

“Stefanie is a talented artist who brings my creative visions to life. She not only meets but exceeds my expectations every time. She listens closely, picking up on details I may struggle to articulate, and expertly incorporates them into her work. Stefanie has a knack for understanding my vision and pays meticulous attention to every detail. She is dependable, never making promises she can't keep, and consistently goes above and beyond to achieve impressive results.

Working with Stefanie is enjoyable and effortless, and I have complete confidence that she will help me deliver outstanding work to my clients.”

Karla Therese Kjellvander, Creative Director
“As Stefanie has been working within the advertising agency world she has an eye on the importance of a strong concept throughout the whole process. Working closely with Stefanie several days in a row on location with the client on set was a great experience. She naturally becomes a part of the team and makes the whole work process feel effortless and fun while coming up with great results.”

Fredrik Birath, Art Director
”It was fun to go through the creative process and to develop the concept together with Stefanie. But best of all was the actual shoot where all the planning finally worked out, so exciting! Stefanie has been responsive for the overall purpose and goal of the campaign concepts. As she has been working within the advertising agency world she has had an eye on the importance of a strong concept throughout the whole process.”
