“Exaggeration is my only reality.”

Stephanie’s influences extend beyond the parameters of design, and she is inspired by creative personalities across various disciplines. Citing fashion editor Diana Vreeland, musicians Freddie Mercury and David Bowie, and artists René Magritte and Pedro Friedeberg as inspirations for her work, Stephanie often draws from those known to push boundaries to the limit. United by a rejection of conformity and an ability to curate their own worlds, these trailblazers mirror Stephanie’s philosophy of challenging the rules to develop and construct interiors that encourage escapism and fantasy.
