Role: Art Direction • Food Photography • Image Editing • Presentation Design • Motion Graphics • Campaign Design
Originally created at Highland Baking Co., this project used a gameday theme to present sandwich concepts for Chick-fil-A through a pitch deck and supporting motion design.

Hi, I’m Stacey, a multimedia designer with 13 years of experience, including a decade creating brand and marketing assets for foodservice and QSR brands. My work spans social campaigns, advertising, presentation materials, and web content, with a strong focus on food photography, styling, and art direction.
I’ve spent much of my career working alongside chefs and marketing teams to bring menu concepts to life, connecting brand identity, product storytelling, and the guest experience into one cohesive system.
In 2026, I launched The Food Nerds to bring that experience directly to independent restaurants. That work keeps me grounded in what design actually has to do: perform in real-world environments, guide customer decisions, and look good doing it.
Open to remote, contract, and part-time design work, or the right full-time role.
