Hey there!

I'm Stephanie Wolf

I've been a graphic designer and creative director for the last 20 years. My focus is on minimal design that never forgets the consumer. I love the gratification of creating a tangible piece on beautiful paper, but I don’t think slide presentations have to be horrible. My personal background is in recycling and resource conservation. I have a decided bent toward social justice,  education, and science.
