Hi there, I’m Steph, a Lead Designer currently working with NOVA to reimagine how freelance creatives find work. With 6 years of experience designing in agency, startup, and product environments, my expertise ranges from web design, product design, brand design and more.
I teach Intro to User Experience design at Maryland Institute College of Art and I love experimenting with different ways to teach design.
I particularly love how product design sits at the intersection of business, brand, and users. I design not only as a career but also as a hobby. I’m my happiest working with teams who encourage positivity, authenticity, close collaboration, and happy hours.
