Our Story
about visceral by design
Stephanie’s Story
Visceral by Design was created from a lifetime of seeing the world through color, pattern, and feeling. Once told her designs sparked visceral reactions, Stephanie leaned into this rare gift and built a design philosophy around it. Stephanie was born into a creative family and assisted her mother’s interior design firm as early as she can remember. As a result, she has always interpreted the world through a lens of shapes and textures.
After studying Fashion Design in Italy and establishing her own jewelry business, Stephanie learned to pay attention to every detail of a project. After earning her MBA from Wake Forest University, Stephanie combined her over 20 years of design experience, entrepreneurial mindset, and business acumen to create Visceral by Design. She brings a blend of intuition, artistry, and emotional intelligence to every project. Her work is not about replicating trends. It’s about helping people feel at home in their own homes.
