Hello I'm Stephanie.

A seasoned Graphic Designer with a passion for design, with an eye toward the changing world and how it affects current trends in design and marketing. I strive to always create on the edge of innovation while respecting and incorporating existing design values and traditions. I have inherent respect for the power of a brand and consider myself a brand ambassador for existing brands as well as the brands that I create. I have more than 18 years professional design experience and have worked with high profile clients as well as small businesses and start-ups in many different industries; clients such as; Idaho Optometric Physicians, Reveleer, This Saves Lives, Trilink Biotechnologies, Pixel Health, Coast Science, Skyline Exhibits, Glen Research, McKesson Corporation, PatientSafe Solutions, Biotheranostics, Invivoscribe Technologies, Green Guard Services, Inc, Mitchell International, Walmart, SANDAG, LOSSAN, Poseidon Water, PG&E, SDG&E, Westfield Mall, Southwest Strategies, Madaffer Enterprises, Inc., Pardee Homes, Hard Rock Hotel, Pathway Genomics, Campland, City of Carlsbad, City of Chula Vista, Pacifica Enterprises, Kimley Horn, Regency Centers, Sycuan and more. I especially enjoy bringing in my knowledge of the sciences (I have a BS in Biology) into my creative work and find myself often happily collaborating with clients in the healthcare industry. 

I love the design process and enjoy bringing my own ideas to a project as well as collaborating and learning from other creative minds. I'm a self-starter, a problem solver and I relish new challenges. I have extensive experience in contract work, and so; humbly refer to myself as an expert in taking a project from the beginning stages, collaborating with client, vendors, co-workers and creative directors, to the final product. I specialize in all things print (from elevator wraps and billboards to business cards, brochures and flyers, anything that can be printed, I can design) as well as digital design such as Powerpoint presentations, email blasts, social media graphics, web ads and banners (animated and static), front end website pages, visuals and assets, and Squarespace sites. I have honed my collaborative and interpersonal skills and possess strong written and verbal abilities.

I enjoy being able to digest, condense and create client content to fit a campaign; helping a client say what they are trying to say to the audience they are speaking to. I am well versed in the Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft office. I have extensive experience with Powerpoint and Keynote; creating many different types of decks and videos, recreated existing decks as well as template design and incorporation, animated movies to play on loop in trade show booths, as well as worked on numerous sales presentations.

In my other time, I am mother to a creative, energetic 8th grader, an avid reader and a musician, I have been in several bands and have written and recorded my own album, currently making music and playing shows with my sister in Boise, check us out here: www.instagram.com/the.larson.sisters

Other people who love working with me and love my work have this to say:

"Stephanie was recommended to me by a mutual colleague only a year ago, but in that short time has become my primary go-to resource for graphic design work. Stephanie is professional, punctual, thorough but most importantly she is extremely talented and always produces wonderful work. I have solicited her help for logos, iconography, brochures, tradeshow booths, photography or illustration mockups....virtually every type of brand artwork in every medium, and she has always delivered above and beyond while being an absolute pleasure to work with. She is able to nail the design with minimal rounds of revision every time, and always goes the extra mile to ensure output quality through final production. I could not have succeeded in serving the clients we worked with over the last year without Stephanie's help. I will absolutely hire her in the future, and will recommend her to anyone in need of a top-tier freelance designer." 
— Saundra Knight, Marketing and Product Strategy Leader

"Stephanie has a wide variety of creative and design talents. She really understands art direction as well as the creative approach and knows how to apply it to a marketing communications challenge. I've been very impressed with Stephanie for her creative approach for every project we've worked together on. I've even referred Stephanie onto many different clients and projects over the years. She is very easy to work with and responds very quickly to assignments! I am working with her know even in my current role."
— Brett Doucette, ABC, MBA, Digital Marketer and Brand Communicator

"Stephanie finds creative solutions to design challenges with great speed, attention to detail and a with positive team spirit. I’ve worked with her both in a staff position and as a freelance designer, and her design work is always well thought, on time and creative. She works well within the boundaries of brand but also can be very inventive when asked to design without the constraints of a style guide. Stephanie is reliable, professional and a joy to work with."
— Tim Downs, Creative Director: Outreach, Inc.

"As an author, I know that many potential readers never get past the cover of a book before making their purchase decision. For that reason I wanted my novel, The Baldwin Portolano, to have a eye-catching design representative of the book. Ms. Larson immediately understood the tone and focus of my novel which she captured with her graphic design of the beautiful book cover. Her delivery was prompt, her manner professional, and the product was outstanding. For a glimpse of it, feel free to go to Amazon.com and search for my historical novel, The Baldwin Portolano. My experience could not have been more positive. She is definitely my ”Go-To” graphic designer for my next book cover."
— Sharon Lightholder, Author

"Couldn't imagine a finer choice for the freelance work we needed done at short notice. Knowledgeable and experienced in her field; was able at key junctures to suggest creative solutions beyond my imagining; and the finished product was not exactly what we were looking for -- it was better. A pleasure to work with, too; very efficient and goal-oriented, but not at the expense of positive collaboration. Stephanie has my complete trust and I would hire her again in a heartbeat, without reservation."
— David Higgs, Business Owner

"I hired Stephanie to redesign our tired company logo and she completely nailed it. We immediately started receiving positive feedback from clients. She's the best at what she does and I will continue to hire her going forward."
— Colby Hendricks-Dancehall Days
