Illustration
Many of Stephanie's illustrations cross naturally into surface pattern design — a single character becomes a repeat, a seasonal scene becomes a collection. The pieces below represent standalone illustration work available for licensing or purchase, including children's characters, hand-lettered art, editorial pieces, and holiday illustration. Custom illustration is also available for clients who need something built from scratch.
Stephanie's portfolio is continuously growing with new collections, seasonal releases, and one-of-a-kind illustration. She works with manufacturers, publishers, stationery brands, and independent makers to bring art to products people love. If you're looking for a surface pattern designer or children's illustrator available for licensing, collaboration, or freelance work, she'd love to connect.
