About me

Hi, I’m Steph — a multidisciplinary designer and visual storyteller working on purpose-driven projects.

My work sits at the intersection of design, motion, and illustration, and I’m drawn to meaningful, impact-focused projects. I collaborate with NGOs, conscious brands, and grassroots initiatives to help amplify important stories and ideas.

I spent two years in-house as a marketing designer at Nexus Studios and have since been freelancing with studios and organisations doing meaningful work, including Maker Change Studio. There, I’ve contributed to projects for the Children and Youth Pavilion, The Iris Project, Lloyd’s Register Foundation, Savitri, and the Environmental Funders Network.

I graduated in 2021 with a degree in Creative Media from the University of Plymouth. My background in photography and film strongly shapes my approach to design, particularly in documentary-led storytelling and work rooted in real people and lived experiences.

I love travelling and learning about different cultures. Experiencing new places and communities continues to shape how I see the world and feeds directly into my creative practice — influencing both how I tell stories and why I choose to tell them.
