A Bit About Me

My name is Stephanie Hatala. I collaborate with companies to grow and engage with their audience by creating compelling digital content. As a video editor I focus on telling stories. I lend my creative expertise to every project I work on to help clients convey their messages uniquely and effectively – and I’m always looking for new avenues. In fact, during my time at Cageside Seats, I went from working with primarily scripted content to independently conceiving, planning, and producing original video segments for the site’s podcast series. As a result of my work, I’ve helped brands both refine and expand their content, connect with key communities, and drive active engagement with loyal users. On a personal note, I like to experiment with oil painting and graphic design in my spare time and I’m always looking for ways to incorporate different mediums into my editing projects.
