"I was in an advanced placement studio art and after school we were put on the subway and sent to Parsons [New School] for nude figure drawing and still life painting”, explains Stephanie.Born and raised in New York- Stephanie has always managed to engross herself with various art-cultural habits: fine art, painting, drawing, illustration and photography. However, after finishing her programme with Parsons she dropped out of high school to earn herself some extra cash. Soon after, she soon enrolled herself to the Fashion Institute of Technology to study graphic design, she says: "I chose to go there because I LOVE FASHION and wanted to be immersed in that environment".
At present, Stephanie hails at Tribeca Language as a graphic designer, illustrating lots of fun things for kids: "I've created some really cool characters for the new line of textbooks and they are dressed to the nines", she reflects. On top of this, she also works as a screenwriter [for Fun Films inc. and herself] and actress. Yet, she somehow manages to persist with fine art work into her busy schedule. "I still live in New York; however, I did spend a year of my life volunteering in New Orleans as a graphic designer at an art gallery affected by the storms [Katrina and Rita], I just moved back home last July".
So what made you apply for this project? “I love collaborating with an array of creative people…I want to expand my network and make some great contacts”. She later concludes: “Together we can all take NINETEEN74 to the next level”.
