Stephanie Beischer is an award-winning, freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and pattern designer with over 25 years of experience bringing fun, colorful ideas to life! She specializes in children’s illustration, animal illustration, food-themed designs, and print graphics.

She runs her creative business from a cozy home studio in the Chicago suburbs, where she juggles projects alongside family life with her husband, two daughters, a black lab and two Boston terriers. For her, the best part of running her own creative business, is the variety of projects—and building real connections with her clients. She believes design gets even better when you truly know the person you’re working with. Some of her clients have stuck around so long, they feel more like friends!
