creative principal

Pioneer and visionary, Stella’s understanding that all communication is culture - driven is at the core of her thirty year practice as a communication architect. On a Venn diagram of communication Stella resides in the overlap of message, design, and technology.

She leads all teams and, from an unerring sense of where things are going, sets the overall direction for the firm. Stella is the author of Killer Web Design: NetObjects Fusion and lead author of Designing Multimedia Web Sites. She is currently working on her new book Culture-driven by Design.

She studied communication design at Parsons School of Design in New York City. President Emeritus, Philadelphia Chapter AIGA.
