Stephanie Amber
Graphic Design / Photography / Web Development
Hi, I’m Stephanie and I’m obsessed with design. From museums to a menu in a cafe, I love getting inspiration from everywhere around me. I am very fast-paced and love jumping around from packaging, catalogs, print ads, and in-store displays all before lunch to have no day be the same. I always identify creative opportunities to push the bounds of any project I touch. In my free time, I am also a hiker, kayaker, runner, baker, photographer, and world traveler.
