Meet Stephanie

Growing up drawing and making things, my love of art deepened as I learned about Renaissance masters and their multi-disciplinary gifts. Inspired by this, I pursued a degree in biomedical engineering with the hope of using my artistic underpinning to create designs rooted in purpose and beauty.

After a few years of this work, my career shifted into the digital design space as an outlet for my creative voice. I continued drawing on the side and was extremely fortunate to be mentored by the renowned figurative artist, Steve Huston.

While broad and unrelated on the surface, all of these experiences are connected by a common thread—a love of art and design, and a real drive to make lives better through it.
