Hi there! I’m Stephanie. I graduated with a BFA and business minor at CSU Fullerton in May 2016. Additionally, I’m passionate about bringing creativity into business, and earned my MBA during the pandemic from Florida Southern College. In 2015, my painting was selected by Disney with 22 other finalist and was on display at the D23 Expo in Anaheim. I was a team leader and finalist in the Disney Imaginations Design Competition in 2016. I interned at Walt Disney Imagineering in Glendale, then in Anaheim as a Creative Producer and Creative Designer. From there, I worked as a Project Coordinator at WDI in Anaheim, while also handling their creative illustration needs as well. I recently moved to Central Florida, and am currently freelancing. In addition, At my core I am a storyteller, and love to illustrate whimsical scenes. Also got that left brain right brain thing going on - interested in working on the future vision of theme parks among other things!

And now that the formal bio is out of the way… a little about me personally! I love Halloween, and typically you can find me illustrating or doodling scenes with elements of fantasy, nature, animal, space or.. you guessed it…. Halloween! I've been drawing since I was a child, and have always wanted to retain that childhood feeling of magic and whimsy in my artwork. I also love theme parks, especially in the way you feel you can escape reality for a little bit. I enjoy blue-sky-ing new ideas for spaces, and stories.

I am a drinker of tea, especially tea lattes, and love animals. If I’m at home, my dog is most likely cuddled up right next to me. I love reading (graphic novels and regular novels!), listening to podcasts and music, traveling, finding great vegan food, and playing the occasional video game. Looking forward to Rune Factory 6 and the new spin-off! And of course, Netflix and other streaming services.
