Stormi spent her formative years on the Central Oregon Coast, then became a "Fighting Duck" at the University of Oregon. She was one of those individuals who picked her major before starting school and then stuck with it. The scary part? Her major was...Advertising. After creative stints at both the Oregon Daily Emerald and Emporium Inc.'s in-house ad agency, she headed to San Francisco and began her ongoing love affair with media planning/buying. She still refers to the J. Walter Thompson Media Handbook that she received in 1990 and she mourns the now-closed Saatchi & Saatchi SF office where she spent eight years. While at Saatchi, she guided Hewlett-Packard's media efforts and ran its multi-agency Print AOR activities. As a core member of Saatchi's New Biz team, she got a head start on the dot.com craze by first pitching every site in sight and then leading the media strategies for those that came in the door. She also indulged her second passion – career development – by running/mentoring both the SF Ad Club's Media School and Advertising Day for several years. She moved to NY in 1999 to start DiNoto Lee's Media Department. She fell madly in love – this time with a person – and left the agency in 2001 to travel around the world. She came back ready to roll...but on her own terms. She's currently using her twenty years of industry experience to build her own business: Stormi Sees, Inc.
