Independent Creative Director, Designer and Illustrator based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa / Wellington, New Zealand
An experienced multidisciplinary Designer and Illustrator, Steph has over a decade of experience elevating and nurturing brands through both thoughtful and elegant idea-driven concepts. Her passion for doing so has seen her working with some of Wellington's most innovative creative Studios, where she's brought her fresh ideas, craft and deep understanding of contemporary branding, print, digital design and illustration to a diverse range of businesses and organisations, across the country and abroad.
In late 2020, Steph established a boutique creative branding studio of her own called Good Company, where she continues to build and nurture beautiful and thoughtful identities that connect and inspire. On a mission to uphold the value of good design, combined with good business practice and principles, Good Company partners with motivated brands and visionary leaders on a mission to build a healthier and happier world.
