The designer behind

Stephanie

Hi, I am

I've been in the design world for over 15 years. Before starting my own business, I worked in the corporate world, small design agencies, and the nonprofit space. But eventually, life pushed me in a different direction.

I was fired twice for being pregnant — the second time at 38 weeks. Both experiences changed everything. After that, I decided I was done letting other people determine the direction of my life and career.

Motherhood has a way of doing that to you. It makes you braver. Bolder. More willing to stand up for what you believe in.

Today, I channel that same conviction into the work I do — helping business owners build brands that reflect the heart of what they’ve created and the direction they’re headed next.

Because our businesses are rarely just “jobs.”

They’re livelihoods. They support our families. They keep our creativity alive.

And that matters.

If you’re building something meaningful, I’d love to help bring your brand to life.

  • I believe great typography and a good story can change everything.

  • I'm a lover of tattoos and a little personal expression.

  • I may not live in Texas anymore, but I’ll always miss the Mexican food.

  • And I am a firm believer that pickles belong in popcorn — don’t knock it until you try it!

The Little Things That Make Me, Me

The Little Things That Make Me, Me

  • I'm a Mom of three incredible (and very strong-willed) kids — parenting tips always welcome.

  • I'm an animal lover through and through… and if a stranger pulls up with a van full of kittens, I’m getting in.

  • I grew up in the 90’s on Saturday morning cartoons and Nick@Nite.

  • I'm a former gymnast, which means I still appreciate balance, discipline, and a little grace under pressure.

You Might Be a Great Fit If…

If that sounds like you, we’ll likely work really well together!

I work best with values-driven small businesses, nonprofits, impact-led founders, and service-based brands who are ready for their brand to reflect the level of their work.

  • You value strategy, clarity, and intentional design
  • You’re stepping into a new season of growth
  • You want a brand that feels aligned and built to last

I knew it was time for a new brand and website... But, I was a bit hesitant to put the visual identity of my business into anyone’s hands. My website is written in long form, so the design had to be thoughtful and engaging to encourage scrolling. Stephanie accomplished that... 

As a business owner I knew it was time for a new brand and website. My brand archetype had changed and my current visual brand was no longer a fit for my business. But, I was a bit hesitant to put the visual identity of my business into just anyone’s hands. Enter Stephanie... My website is written in long form, so the design had to be thoughtful and engaging to encourage scrolling. Stephanie accomplished that... The cherry on top - her off-boarding was A+.
