Stefaz & Co. was founded by Stephanie (she/her) - a culturally Deaf artist, designer, and educator based in Melbourne (Naarm). With proud Chilean, Spanish, Irish, and British roots, Stephanie weaves her rich cultural heritage into every creative project
she touches.

Her lifelong love for art began in childhood - drawing, colouring, crafting, and dreaming late into the night. During her university years, even after long days studying design and illustration, Stephanie would come home brimming with ideas, often working on freelance projects well into the evening. That creative spark never left her.

Over time, her artistic journey grew to include oil painting and children’s book illustration, blending realism and whimsy to capture themes like flowers, childhood memories, small towns,
travel, dreams, imagination, and everyday magic.

With a heart for wonder and a hand for detail, Stefaz & Co. brings soulful creativity to life - inspiring Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing communities alike.
