“I had the pleasure of working with Stefanie for 5 years and the chance to see her amazing Design skills in action every day. Stefanie is by far the best 'full-stack' designer I have ever worked with. She is incredibly skilled at Visual Design, UX Design, and Customer Research. Stefanie led a design team building multiple products for one of the largest cellular operators in the world with millions of active users. Stefanie is highly intelligent, not afraid of hard work, she works at lightning speed and is a lovely person to be around. I would be honored to work with Stefanie again.”

“It’s exceedingly rare to find people who can own the room, lead a team from ideation through discovery to design and implementation, and also effectively and empathetically mentor both direct and indirect reports. Stefanie does all of this and more. She is an incredible asset to any team and a prolific leader of extremely capable product designers. I recommend her to any team without reservation.”

Ben JonesDirector of Product Management

“When starting at Asurion, I reported directly to Stefanie which turned out to be a truly great experience. From a management perspective, I always felt that Stef truly had my best interests in mind, pushing me to learn new things, and to share those learnings with the team. She fosters an environment of constant growth and will quickly become an integral part of any company's culture. In addition, Stef goes out of her way to ensure that designers on her team are always put in positions to succeed. I highly recommend Stef to companies looking to add strong design leadership to their organization, and to companies that are looking to build a user-centric culture.”

“As a direct report of Stefanie Sexton- who was my manager for 2 years I can speak to her strong ability to inspire others and lead a design team. She hired me when I was new in the design field and was able to train and develop my skills in a short period of time allowing me to work on varying products (mobile, web, desktop).

Stefanie is extremely reliable and incredibly hard working. Her drive and passion for design is contagious and motivating. As a leader, Stefanie is able to build strong relationships between product managers, stakeholders and engineering in order to advocate for what's best for the customer. She is extremely detailed oriented and brings a customer centric approach in her designs and problem solving abilities. She has the unique ability to understand a product in its entirety but also understand every granular detail. She is an irreplaceable asset to any team or company. I have seen countless team members seek her out for feedback and her technical expertise. As a manager she excels at creating a supportive work environment and providing strong mentorship. She is resilient; she can seamlessly work under pressure and tight deadlines. She is an extremely talented designer and will improve any product that she has the opportunity to support.”

“Stefanie is an absolute pleasure to work with. As Sr. Manager of Product Design, she has always been supportive and open with her teams. She inspires those around her to achieve excellence by collaborating with them and empowering them to take ownership over their work. As a designer, Stefanie has made an enormous impact on every product she has touched, as a manager, she has built a culture of collaboration and excellence, and as a colleague, she has earned the respect and admiration of those who work with her.”

Gabe PattenhouseSr. Product Designer, Asurion

“Stefanie was an incredible boss. I had the opportunity to interact with her daily and she was always readily available to help me with anything I needed. She challenged me to think outside the box with various user experience solutions and no matter what question, comment, or concern I had, she would stop what she was doing to listen to me fully, then provide a direction for me. Stefanie gave me helpful and constructive criticism that allowed me to be the designer I am today. Beyond a boss, Stefanie is kind, warm, and caring, and I truly felt a part of our design group’s family thanks to her.”
