I collaborate closely with clients to design public-facing and internal strategies that include earned media, messaging and asset development, crisis communications, media training, executive counsel, institutional planning, and event production.

Every project is tailored to the client's goals, scale, and priorities. I am based in Los Angeles and serve clients globally.

About
Stephanie M. Sykes

I bring more than 20 years of experience in strategic communications for internationally renowned cultural institutions. As the founding communications leader at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures (USA) and Art Dubai (UK/UAE), I built each organization's communications infrastructure from the ground up and guided them from launch phase to operational stability. My career also spans established institutions such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (USA), Gwangju Design Biennale (South Korea), and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Italy). I have written extensively about art, culture, design, and architecture, with essays appearing in publications across the United States, Taiwan, the UAE, and Egypt.
