ABOUT ME

I started playing around with Adobe Photoshop as a hobby in the 10th grade. I cannot explain why, but as soon as I clicked that little magic wand - I knew I never wanted to stop! Since that fateful day, I have significantly sharpened my media skills and ‘fine-tuned’ my artistic focus to uniquely master my ‘passion of pride.’

​

In 2011, I started working for my local church fellowship as an administrative assistant. Within a few brief months, congregational leadership had discovered that, not only did I know my way around photoshop; but I was also quite proficient at the creation & implementation of all other updated media needs. That my friends, began the genesis of my graphic design career!

Well after my design days with the Church office, I continued to challenge myself with new software functionality and made sure to stay up to date with all of the new product features associated within the ever-growing Photoshop application. By the end of 2017, I had proudly begun mastering Adobe Illustrator.

​

Today, I can proudly say that my persistence to learning and wholesome dedication has finally paid off. I currently work at my dream job as the Creative Director for St. Nick's Christmas Lighting & Décor. What’s even more exciting? I have recently launched my freelance business, Stephie.Design 

​

My media-creation model is primarily targeted for mid-level entrepreneurs and small businesses, as I offer easy platform web-site layout (WIX and Squarespace and some WordPress), logo creation, social media photography, and cohesive graphic design. Basically, I am a one-stop-shop for all of one’s ‘digitally generated’ needs.

 

As an intrinsically imaginative spirit, being stuck at a job that did not allow me to fully tap into my creative juices often left me feeling severely suffocated and unfulfilled. I have faced many internal struggles before finding the confidence to step into who I am as a creative professional.  At first, I unfairly doubted myself and always felt like I didn’t have the “right” to call myself a designer or photographer.

Although it took fifteen years, I have that confidence now and I’m never looking back!

 

Will you be my next Design Journey Co-Pilot? I promise you it will be better than you ever imagined.
