Long story, kind of short

About me

I’m a multidisciplinary designer with experience across brand identity, digital marketing, web design, email design, event graphics, merchandise, product design, and large-scale campaign systems. My work sits at the intersection of visual storytelling, practical design systems, and thoughtful user experience. I graduated from Elmhurst College in 2018 with a B.A. in Graphic Design and a desire to revolutionize design. I quickly learned I was not going to be a revolutionary the way I thought. Instead I learned the quiet revolution of creating with free time instead of creating with the sole purpose of making money. My adventures with my personal creations have given me an immense amount of experience with programs and tools I would have not had opportunities with in the workplace.

Over the years, I’ve worked with companies, events, small businesses, internal teams, and independent creators to develop branding that feels clear, flexible, and memorable. Whether I’m building a national event campaign, redesigning a brand system, creating email templates, managing web updates, or developing custom merchandise, my focus is always the same: create designs that look strong, functions well, and supports the bigger picture seemlessly.

Currently, I work as a Branding, Events and Digital Designer at AVB Marketing, where I contribute to multi-channel campaigns, brand systems, web projects, email marketing, and internal company initiatives. Alongside that, I continue to lead freelance and self-directed creative work through Stevie P Design, collaborating with clients on branding, merchandise, web design, product design, and creative direction.

What I Do

Brand Identity & Visual Systems

I create branding that can live across multiple touchpoints, from logos and visual identities to internal brand assets, event materials, merchandise, email campaigns, and web experiences. My goal is to build brand systems that are not only visually distinct, but also organized, scalable, and easy to apply.

This includes:

  • Brand identity design and redesigns
  • Creating logo systems and icon libraries
  • Visual audits and asset cleanup
  • Merchandise and product-facing graphics
  • Event and campaign branding
What I Do

Web & Digital Design

My design work has increasingly expanded into web-focused projects, including custom page layouts, internal websites, resource pages, landing pages, and full site rebrands. I’ve taught myself tools and frameworks when needed, including HTML and Bootstrap, to better understand how design decisions translate into functional digital experiences.

I’ve worked on projects involving:

  • Website rebrands
  • Member resource pages
  • Member Service Website
  • Internal company websites
  • UI/UX design
  • QA and site maintenance
  • HTML email templates and digital campaign creation
What I Do

Campaign, Event & Marketing Design

A major part of my experience has been designing high-volume marketing and promotional materials for events, campaigns, and organizations. I’ve created work for large-scale conferences, summits, training programs, national events, retail campaigns, hospitality clients, and internal initiatives.

This work includes:

  • Event branding and promotional campaigns
  • Presentation design
  • Large-format print graphics
  • Signage and collateral
  • Digital ads and social graphics
  • Marketing templates
  • Reviewing and proofing print material before sending to printers
