what?
Stefan is a highly talented writer and copyeditor who is especially valuable when it comes to highly-technical topics. His mind is laser-sharp, his focus is dialed, and he always delivers highly-refined writing on deadlines. He’s passionate about explaining the highly-technical to a less-technically-inclined audience.

Stefan is as creative as he is technically knowledgeable. Anytime I have been stuck for ideas, I’ve been able to collaborate with Stefan and come away to feel inspired and motivated from our meetings. He is also so detail oriented, that I feel much better publishing my content once he’s given it a review.

Stefan is adaptable across creative segments and content platforms, whether he’s writing in-app how-to’s for beginners or crafting thought-provoking inspirational content for seasoned pros. Stefan’s keen eye for detail, watertight technical expertise, and eagerness to collaborate have consistently made him a stellar professional partner.

Stefan is a video product expert with a deep love for film that informs his work to make learning new video tools accessible. As a highly-skilled technical writer, he created compelling how-to’s that get beginners up and running with Adobe Premiere Pro; as a storyteller, he wrote fascinating cultural pieces that resonate. Stefan’s super power is his eye for detail. He’s the editor you want by your side to call out every last misplaced semicolon and comma.

Stefan and I collaborated on a number of articles and animated illustrations. Every time we worked together, I learned something and developed a deeper understanding of the products because of Stefan’s guidance. Not only is he a willing and enthusiastic teacher, he’s wonderful to work with on brainstorming and concepting.

Stefan is a consummate professional, meticulous with high attention to detail, and excellent written communication. He is completely able to bridge between technical and non-technical needs of projects. I always know exactly what he needs or is seeking to accomplish and am happy to work with him because he is always pleasant, friendly, generous, and interesting.

Stefan looks for ways to make things better, cleaner, and more concise, continually stretching beyond his role as lead editor. His dedication, commitment to craft, and care he exhibits about the customer experience is motivating. Whenever he’s not writing a tutorial, he’ll respond to customer feedback — good and bad — pointing them to appropriate info to help customers accomplish their goals. He’s got heart.
