Stephanie has been making the move into Producing alongside acting after nearly a decade of working in the Film and Television industry following her graduation from E15 Acting School. She had been producing and writing some of her own shorts for a number of years, including award winning short Out of View that sought to raise awareness of the rise domestic abuse during the pandemic, supported by Women's Aid.
Blabbermouth a comedy short she co-produced is now in Post and is currently being graded at Warner Bros' De Lane Lea. She recently worked on Series 8 and 9 of BAFTA and NTA winning programme The Repair Shop as Materials Researcher, sourcing materials for the experts and repairs from anywhere and everywhere! And similarly stepped into an Assistant Producer role on Woodland Workshop for Warner Bro's Discovery. Prior to this - The Great Antiques Challenge has just started on Really - Stephanie was Production Assistant on this and multiple unscripted series as well as having been Co-ordinator on Corporate/Commercial Productions.
Stephanie has a number of projects on her slate she would like to Produce and is particularly interested in comedy and seeing more well written female roles. She lives in London, with her husband, and it goes without saying she loves going to the cinema and watching American TV shows in her free time. She has just had a baby and is currently on maternity leave, reading lots of scripts!
