Iceland-based Creative Director, Visual Storyteller, & Brand Strategist

for Brands, Productions, & Artistic Icons.


Steph Zakas performance coach for multi-hyphenates and creative leaders

When you’re creating an innovative project, bringing your vision to life, or need a true creative partner in Iceland—

I have the tools and expertise to make it happen.

People come to me to create forward momentum personally, professionally, or creatively without losing their shit along the way. Or, sometimes they come to me when they want creative media that fulfills their vision. With such a vast well of experience and skills to pull from, sometimes I help people as:

  • a sounding board before the creative breakthrough.

  • a creative director before the photographer.

  • a coordinator before capturing the production.

  • a brand strategist before creating the creative brand media.

  • a friend to have coffee with before the collaborative spark ignites.

Whatever the case may be for you, I’m excited to roll my sleeves up, dig in, and see what magic we can make.

CREATIVE MEDIA, DIRECTOR, & PARTNER

Sometimes you need new images or creative media content for an upcoming album, event, publication, or production — I’m your girl.

And, sometimes you need some fresh creative for your brand’s marketing, socials, advertising, and website.

And, sometimes, you need a creative director, location scout, or creative sounding board to pull it all together.

Contact me to discuss your next project and how I can help make it happen.

BRAND DEVELOPMENT, STRATEGY, & CREATIVE MEDIA ASSETS

Personal Brands | Artists | Boutique Brands | Creative Brands | Innovators

When you need new branded photography, brand video, and other creative assets for your business, you also need someone with the vision and understanding to utilize these assets effectively.

This is where the intersection of my strategic brain and creative brain collide.

It’s no longer enough to share visuals on your platform; you need to think beyond the headshot. When we work together, I think of your creative media holistically in my creative direction before the media creation:

  • Your brand’s identity

  • Your brand’s ideal client/ customer/ consumer, and the customer experience

  • Your platform as an ecosystem, and where the creative fits into it

  • And once you have the media assets, maximizing them

I help you with your brand development, strategy, client experience, sales, marketing ecosystem, and your creative media photography & video assets.
