Your Design Business Guide
Meet Stefani
Hello, I'm Stefani—a web design veteran with over two decades of experience transforming digital landscapes. Since 2000, I've been crafting websites that do more than just look good—they solve real business problems. As a professional web designer and business owner since 2014, I've navigated the complex world of creative entrepreneurship, turning my passion for design into a thriving, purpose-driven business.
My journey in web design has been about more than pixels and code. I've worked with hundreds of clients, from scrappy startups to established brands, helping them communicate their vision through thoughtful, strategic design. Over the years, I’ve built a business that not only supports my life but my goals. I want to help other designers skip the mistakes I’ve made and create thriving businesses that they are proud of.
