To work with a group of individuals who have the same passion and drive as myself to produce outstanding work and to further my skills. I'm a team player and problem solver. Able to handle tight deadlines and pressure in a professional and friendly manner.
Recommendations:
Position: Animation & Background Supervisor
“Here's the top line regarding Stefanie: Talented, motivated, friendly, a team player in every respect, an eye for detail and absolutely crazy about animation.
And here's the detail: I first had the opportunity of working with her as an animator in my team in Berlin. After we decided to outsource most of the work to India, she was the first person I could think of to send over as a supervisor.
Although Stephanie was very young -and still is ;) -, she did a brilliant job. Working in India is not always easy, but she did extremely well: finishing ahead of schedule, and delivering better quality then we expected. Steffie is a self starter, a motivator and a solver of problems. You have probably gathered by now that I would recommend her to any prospective client/employer in a heart beat. wherever she lands will be lucky to have her.” September 14, 2011

Position: Student at Animation Mentor
“Stefanie is dream to work with, inspiring, inquisitive and loaded with talent in many disciplines as her resume states. Passion for character animation shows in her drive to learn, desire to improve each shot and ability to apply what she absorbs in discussions and lectures. I admire her openness in asking for clarity and discussing options motivated by curiosity and creativity. When my feature is in production I will find her.” December 14, 2011
