Stacey is an award-winning creative director with over 20 years experience in branding, strategy, and design.
The name speaks to my beliefs. Functional as an adjective simply means to have a special purpose. So, I put the ‘Funk’ in functional when this business was founded in 2010 with the goal of creating meaningful brands designed with purpose and intention. I believe in taking risks and challenging the conventional, and that every detail plays an important role while contributing to the impact of a greater whole.
My aim is to cultivate lasting relationships through a great collaborative experience, allow a brand to shine in all its glory, and help clients get excited about their business again – all while never losing sight of the end-goal: to deliver results that transcend trends.

By choice we are a small but mighty studio with a select group of talented colleagues we collaborate with. Each and every project is our growth. Our goal is to remain small and focused, so for this reason we do not have employment or internship opportunities available.
