Creative Director
I started my career managing the global awards program at the Art Directors Club, where it was the honor of a lifetime to work with some of advertising's top Executive Creative Directors. It's in those halls where I learned the foundational skills to create award-winning work.
Since that time I've work as a creative at some of the worlds top agencies: Wunderman, McCann, MRM, Publicis, Havas, and Digitas. I've created innovative design solutions for:
USTA, Coca-Cola, Whole Foods, The Herman Miller Company, Humira, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Flonase, and Enfamil to name a few.

He has an active following on Instagram and valued partnerships. Based out of New York, Stoffel finds himself exploring his wanderlust frequently to garner inspiration. His travels have taken him to over 40 countries including China, Egypt, Laos, and Taiwan, which have all resulted in NYC exhibitions.

NFT Designer
The Mandala Project: Stoffel's work is derived from his spiritual and cultural experiences in South East Asia. He uses his painting to create computer generated art that renders a kaleidoscopic mandala visualization.
Mandalas represent devotional images in many buddhist cultures, and are often deemed a diagram or symbol of an ideal universe.
My Startup
Run On Sparkles
Taking a risk is always an adventure. Launching (and closing) my own fashion app was an experience no grad school could have taught me. But out of the rubble of my most epic fail came a tumbling beautiful mess of successful personal rewards. I created one of the first Unicorn Style Blogs, while selling thousands of dollars worth of 'Glitter Poo Pills’ on Etsy. I also learned how to code, and launched 5 games into the App Store (with almost 100,000 downloads), all the while kickstarting a wildly popular insta-worthy Unicorn Cookbook!
