About Stephanie
I am an artist and graphic designer with an AAS degree in Graphic Design from Lane Community College. As a freelance designer I am currently involved in projects for small businesses. I love supporting my community with the skills I’ve gathered over a lifetime of creating. I am interested to make connections with any creative-minded people who want to collaborate! My long-term goal is to complete an art therapy degree and support individuals in expressing through creative outlets.

Stephanie: Unplugged
My creative endeavors include singing/playing acoustic instruments with Bardic Echoes and Troupe Seven Stars, with a repertoire of traditional instrumentals and commedia dell’arte shenanigans that can be enjoyed at renaissance faires throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Stephanie: Outside
I balance my modern self with plenty of time spent bird watching, identifying and photographing plants & fungi, and foraging for tasty & medicinal offerings. I love going for hikes and sitting under the hearty branches of giant sequoia trees.
