"Work. Life. Balance."
The philosophy behind everything I do

About Stephanie

A decade of
making it all work.

I started in executive support because I liked the problem-solving. I stayed because I'm good at it and the work genuinely matters to the people I do it for.

Over the past decade I've supported tech executives, attorneys, general contractors, university departments, property management firms, small businesses, and Bay Area families with the full range of what that means — travel, finances, events, property management, and everything in between. I currently work with two clients on a retained basis and take on new work carefully.

I also cook for 5 private chef households, which keeps the creative side of me fed too.

New service offering

Your homes, completely
organized.

Owning multiple homes should feel like freedom, not a second job. HearthFile is a private home management system I build and maintain for you — so every property's documents, vendors, warranties, and renewals are always exactly where you need them.

HearthFile
Every home, thoughtfully managed

I set up a private, organized system for everything important about your properties — policies, warranties, vendors, access codes, maintenance schedules, and repair history. You get a beautifully organized record that's always current and always accessible.

It's not software you have to learn. It's something I build for you, hand to you, and keep up to date.

Complete property record
Every contract, warranty, insurance policy, and document — organized by property and always findable.
Nothing falls through the cracks
Renewals, expiring warranties, overdue maintenance — surfaced before they become problems.
Keys, codes & access — documented
Who has a key, gate codes, lockbox info — all in one private, secure place.
Built for multiple properties
Primary residence, vacation home, rental — each with its own complete record, all in one place.

Additional offering

Private chef services — by arrangement

Cooking is a passion I bring to select clients on a limited basis. If you're looking for thoughtful, elevated home cooking — weekly meal service, a private dinner, or a catered gathering — I'd love to talk.

I currently serve 5 private chef clients across the Bay Area on a selective basis — cooking is a passion I keep intentionally small to maintain quality. Availability for new chef clients is limited. Visit Stephanie Cooks or email me directly for details.

Weekly Meal Service

Freshly prepared meals — sourced, cooked, and delivered to your home.

Private Dinner Parties

Intimate dinners for 2–30 guests. Menu planning, prep, and cleanup included.

Catered Events

Celebrations and corporate events up to 100 guests.

Rate

$60–$90/hr + groceries. Custom quotes for events.

Kind words

What clients have to say

Professional references available upon request.

"Stephanie manages our office with exceptional care and efficiency. She handles payroll, Workers' Comp compliance, business license renewals, billing, and all bookkeeping through QuickBooks — everything is accurate, on time, and done without me having to follow up. Beyond the day-to-day, she has built smart organizational systems that have genuinely improved how we operate. I trust her completely with the business."

Peter Perrin
Owner, Hillside General Contracting · Current Client

"I can taste the love in your food, which I don't get from ordering out from a restaurant. I've come to realize how much joy your food and services have brought to me and my family."

Dr. Sylvia Watson
Private Chef Client

"We are two working parents with three young kids, one of whom was recently diagnosed with special needs that call for a modified diet and specialized food prep. Stephanie stepped in to support us. Her work ethic and skills are truly exceptional. Her food is DELICIOUS and we have never eaten so well."

Current Private Client
Unicorn Investor · San Francisco Bay Area · Reference available

"We sit down together now and have a civilized meal together, rather than just grabbing a snack. We have great conversations now and your food is so delicious and homey — you do so much more than you realize."

Kristen Loomis
Private Chef Client

"Thank you, again, for the time and care you put into each meal every week. It's a wonderful treat for us, and an opportunity to try something new every week. Cooking well is an amazing talent, and definitely not easy — and you make the entire production seem effortless."

I solve the actual problem — not just the task. A client needed 2,000+ recipes organized. She asked for a Dropbox workaround. I built a real web app instead.
