I'm Stevie!
A Visual Designer & Illustrator.
I'm interested in design-centered problem solving, but I've developed a particular fondness for merging it with my love for illustration, I want to weave stories and create visceral experiences. I want what I make to stand the test of time and I want to go beyond in my designing to create expansive ideas and thoughtful work.
When I'm not cranking out designs concepts, you can find me experimenting with international foods in the kitchen and tending to my humble little backyard garden.
I'm open to discuss my work or to just make a new friend, feel free to reach out or check out my Instagram or LinkedIn.
