About

Creative Consultant / DJ

Stephanie Gancayco is a San Francisco-based Filipina American creative director, cultural producer, DJ, and founder of Hella Pinay, a media platform and creative agency centering Filipina and AAPI voices across print, digital, and live experiences.

With over a decade of experience spanning fashion design, event production, content strategy, and cultural storytelling, Stephanie moves fluidly between creative disciplines — always rooted in community, identity, and intentionality. Her work has touched everything from magazine editorials and brand activations to immersive events and intimate audio storytelling.

As a DJ, Stephanie brings diasporic and experimental sounds to art spaces, brand events, and nightlife events — curating sonic environments that reflect the same cultural depth and nuance found in her editorial and visual work.

Whether she's building a brand, curating a space, or designing a story, Stephanie’s practice is grounded in care, culture, and connection. She is currently focused on expanding Hella Pinay’s impact through new collaborations, partnerships, and creative productions.
