Endorsements

Stacy is an exceptionally talented professional I’ve had the privilege of working with for over ten years as her supervisor. The most distilled description I use to describe Stacy is “an extremely disciplined creative type.”

In my years working with all sorts of people, the majority fit largely into one camp or the other. They’re either quite creative and expressive but need someone to seriously enforce the guard rails. Or they’re a master of spreadsheets and project plans but don’t do as well in the grey or with out-of-box thinking. Stacy’s super power is that she is both. Which is precisely why she has been able to accomplish so much, with so few resources.

Her creativity serves her well in all things aesthetic – whether it’s the clothing she designs, the web pages she creates, the catalog spreads she art directs, or the social media posts she generates. But her creativity does not stop there. Stacy deploys her creativity in problem solving, strategic thinking, and branding too – punching well above the job responsibilities she is technically hired to do. I can always count on Stacy to bring more ideas to the table than are possible to execute, and then to help identify the lowest hanging fruit or the best long-term investment.

To say Stacy wore many hats (and I’m talking at the same time here) is an understatement; fashion designer, merchandiser, art director, email marketer, event coordinator, social media owner. Her fingerprints show up in all of these places. It’s why Fair Indigo’s brand and web presence are often mistaken for a much larger enterprise than its tiny staff would indicate.

Finally, and this is key in today’s rapidly evolving business and cultural landscape; Stacy embraces learning new skills eagerly. An example: “We need to hire a videographer.” A typical response to this might be “what’s my budget, when do you need it, how long should the video be?” But Stacy’s first response is budget-conscious, methodical, and fearless. Find a group of videos the team agrees is aspirational, study the elements of those videos, dive in, get busy creating.

Any organization, big or small, will benefit from Stacy’s unique perspective, talents, and passions and I wholeheartedly endorse her.
