STUDIO MANAGER
The Studio Manager serves as the operational backbone of our studio, ensuring exceptional client experience while managing end-to-end project workflows. This role begins with a strong focus on project management and studio operations, overseeing our couture stationery services and private commissions, while also collaborating with Stephanie and her external teams (business development, lawyer, agent) on strategic growth initiatives into home, decoration, wallpaper and textiles. The ideal candidate will combine strong operational acumen with a dedication to exceptional service, ensuring our clients receive thoughtful, high-touch support throughout their journey with us, while also supporting the brand’s growth.
At the heart of our business lies the Charlottesville studio, a carefully cultivated environment where artistic exploration and client collaboration coexist and enhance one other. Stephanie is constantly generating new project ideas, experimenting with calligraphic and collage techniques, and developing collections through her creative practice. These self–directed projects are essential to our growth and have resulted in many of our most successful commissions and collections. We often describe these two aspects of the business by comparing the custom commissions to Couture and the studio capsule releases to Ready-to-Wear.
The Studio Manager plays a crucial role by:
Balancing immediate client needs with long-term creative development: Protecting dedicated time for Steph’s artistic exploration and development while managing and leading, as point person, our client projects and calendar.
Leading projects with our own in–house project management framework, honed through years of shepherding these commission–based projects. The feedback from our clients is consistently positive, but we regularly evolve it based on new technologies and hope that the Studio Manager will continue to improve upon it.
