Stellabean was founded in 2004 by Founding Partner Andrea Sferes, and joined by Partner Kevin Philip in 2009. Former employees of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, they met and received their formal hospitality branding education there, learning how to bring hospitality brands to life in photography, online, print, identity with visual language development and with branded experiences on property. Having nurtured that experience and integrated research, strategy and a deep level of listening to their stakeholders, they are grateful to have had the opportunity to create numerous hospitality brands, along with the team they have retained for many years, if not since their days at Starwood.
