A little bit about me.

👋 I'm Stephanie Ou (pronounced “Oh” — like you just realized you left the oven on).

A senior brand and visual designer with 8+ years of experience building creative systems that help marketing teams operate at their best. I work across the full spectrum — from brand strategy and visual identity to campaign creative and digital execution. What I care about most is work that holds up: identities that scale, content that actually reflects the brand, and creative that gives teams something to build on rather than start over from.

⏲️ I do my best work when there's a tight deadline and a half-formed brief. Somehow it always comes together.

Off the clock, I hoard inspiration via screenshots, multiple open tabs, and playlists on repeat. Chronically online, fluent in tv quotes, powered by coffee, and always mid–new hobby.

What I'm

good

at.

Brand Strategy & Identity

The foundational work. I help teams figure out what their brand should say, what it should look like, and how to make both hold up over time.
  • Brand positioning & messaging strategy
  • Visual identity & logo design
  • Brand guidelines & design systems
  • Template libraries & scalable asset frameworks
  • Marketing & event collateral

Campaign & Content Systems

The ongoing work. Building content engines that educate, engage, and stay on-brand — across every channel and format.
  • Multi-channel campaign creative
  • Presentation decks & sales materials
  • Digital ads & social content
  • Infographics & data visualization
  • Gated content & thought leadership assets

Motion & Video

Bringing the brand to life in time. From full video production to the small animations that make digital feel considered.
  • Video production & editing
  • Motion graphics & animation
  • Short-form social video
  • Storyboarding & creative direction

Web & Digital

Making sure the brand translates online — not just visually, but structurally.
  • Webflow development & maintenance
  • Landing page design
  • Wireframes & prototypes
  • Design systems for web
