A designer, researcher, and visual communicator with more than 30 years of experience translating complex ideas into clear, compelling visual narratives.

Her career spans an exceptionally broad range of creative contexts, from experiential graphics and wayfinding to editorial design, illustration, brand identity, and experiential environments. Working across publishing, hospitality, civic space, healthcare, and education, she has developed a rare fluency in translating research, whether historical, scientific, cultural, or contextual, into visual communication that is both precise and resonant. The founding of an independent creative practice, built entirely around her own curiosity-driven research and design process, has further deepened that methodology, and now directly informs her work at Oracol.

Over the course of her career, Stacey has brought her research and visualization capabilities to a remarkably diverse range of clients and institutions including Christie's Auction House, the Audubon Society, the Smithsonian's National Zoo, Kapolani Medical Center in Hawaii, Architectural Digest, the Museum of Modern Art, and Shirley Chisholm State Park.

Her work at every scale reflects a consistent approach: immerse deeply in the subject, distill what matters most, and build a visual language that makes complexity navigable. Her early and ongoing engagement with emerging technologies, including AI-assisted visualization and production tools, ensures that her research and technical capabilities continue to evolve in step with the needs of contemporary practice.

As Director of Research and Design at Oracol, Stacey listens carefully, investigates thoroughly, and produces visual communication that brings ideas to life — ensuring every project is grounded in genuine understanding of the place, the community, and the moment it serves.
