Stephanie's creative process is a special alchemy of storytelling spirit, illustration, machine embroidery and hand finishing that starts with hand drawn allure of Stephanie. Trained informally at home and then formally at RISD, Stephanie first creates her irreverent characters and bold pattern designs as original pencil drawings before she painstakingly redraws them stitch by stitch using specialized software. Designs are machine embroidered at cut and sew workshops that Stephanie setup in India and are then finished by hand in her Brooklyn studio. From concept and original drawing all the way to the finished product, a single design takes months to be produced.
