Personal Story
Stephanie Jones, originally hailing from northern California, moved to San Diego immediately after high school to attend San Diego State University. She majored in Hospitality & Tourism Management with an emphasis in Restaurant Operation. As a child, it had always been her dream to pursue baking and culinary arts, with the goal of owning her own dessert business. However, after graduating college and working in both restaurants and pastry kitchens alike, this dream fell flat, and she settled into a manager role at Extraordinary Desserts in Little Italy. She found herself drawn to the weddings, events, and catering sales side of the business, where her affinity with numbers and organization flourished. All the while, she was still getting to work in the setting of her first passion – desserts.
After spending 16+ years in the fast-paced restaurant industry, working weekends and late nights, it was no longer a fit for her and her now more important role as a mom. Looking for something more family-oriented, she joined the StudioWC team as an Invoicing Specialist. Although the invoices look a bit different, swapping cake for engineering, the concept is the same, and she is able to put her organizational skills to the test!
In her free time, Stephanie enjoys chasing after her two toddlers and maximizing quality time with her husband, a Firefighter Engineer with Cal Fire, who is often away for work. They enjoy family beach trips with their dog and bike rides through their neighborhood of North Park, venturing to local parks and breweries.
