hEY THERE, I’M STEPHANIE

I’ve always known that there were a few creative bones in my body, and I think my grandmother Virginia knew it too. Growing up, both my Grandma and my Great Aunt were always in their craft rooms - whether it be scoring paper, making cards for all occasions, knitting and crocheting, sewing or stamping. At one point, my Grandmother swapped her master bedroom for her craft room making it the largest room full of creation I’ve ever seen! so many varieties of papers lined from floor to ceiling, toolboxes filled with stamping materials - there was no shortage of fun in there.

I am currently working in the medical device field full-time, but my career started as a Registered Nurse in 2018. I worked in a Cardiovascular ICU caring for some of the sickest patients. During COVID, my now husband and I left Wisconsin and pursued travel nursing in California, Arizona and Texas. While living in those states, I joined local wedding Facebook groups (I was also planning our wedding) and that’s when it all began! I started with small signage and bachelorette party items for local brides. After our wedding in 2022, my friends started asking me to help them with their milestone events! It was such a rewarding process and I loved to see all my hard work come to life.

There is nothing more rewarding to me than people loving the byproducts of my creativity and sharing that with the people they love. This gives me the creative outlet that I crave and I owe that all to my Grandmother. This ‘side hustle’ has gone through many phases, if you’re on OG - you know what I’m talking about.
