A Bit About Me

I’m Stephanie, a Creative Director, designer, and maker who thrives on turning big ideas into bold visuals. With over a decade of experience in graphic design, illustration, photography, and large-scale holiday installations, I bring both artistry and strategy to every project I touch.

By day, I lead a talented team at St. Nick’s Christmas Lighting & Décor, where I create custom designs that transform cities, shopping centers, and landmarks into immersive holiday experiences. Outside of work, I run my own creative brands—Gordita Art and Boo Weird Creations—where I experiment across mediums, from digital illustration to handmade resin and clay pieces.

Whether it’s guiding a team, developing new products, or crafting one-of-a-kind designs, I’m passionate about blending creativity with impact—making ideas not just beautiful, but memorable.
