THE JOURNEY

Stephanie kicked off her career working as an agent with Michael Ash Partners, growing with them for 13+ years; running and representing the entire roster of photographers on the west coast. 

In 2010 Menuez moved from San Francisco to NYC to team up with her brother, Doug Menuez, as Marketing Director on a year-long launch of his exclusive stock business Menuez Archive Projects. After that project wrapped, she worked as a senior agent for Kelly Montez | Apostrophe NYC. There, she forged new ground in NYC and on the east coast, connecting with many photographers, art producers, art directors and designers. 

2014 took Menuez to new heights, working hands on with the boutique agency Patti | Schumann & Company. She collaborated with brilliant photographers on highly creative and successful photo assignments while also honing her marketing and outreach skills. It was there that she began building her own business, Menuez Creative Consulting. 

Stephanie currently lives in Guadalajara Mexico with her husband and has been consulting clients through her business Menuez Creative Consulting LLC since 2012. This new chapter has brought exciting projects, revitalizing collaborations with great artists and photographers, and tremendous fulfillment and joy.
