About

In the dynamic realm of digital design, Stephy emerges as a beacon of creativity and inclusivity. Transitioning from the structured realm of chemistry to the fluid universe of presentation and UX design, her journey reflects both versatility and insatiable curiosity. With over two decades of experience, Stephy is renowned for crafting visually stunning solutions that profoundly impact accessibility in the digital space.

Her pivot to accessible digital design was not arbitrary but born from personal experiences, observing her children and colleagues navigate the complexities of remote learning and digital accessibility. This personal connection fuels her drive to create genuinely inclusive digital experiences, imbued with empathy and communication at their core.

As a visionary speaker and founder of the Presentation Guild, Stephy captivates audiences with her insights into UX trends and the transformative power of thoughtful design, including using PowerPoint to create inclusive audience experiences. Her engaging presentations serve as a bridge between theory and real-world impact, inspiring action within the design community.

Beneath her professional demeanor lies someone who transformed "shitty digital experiences" into digital gold while advocating for accessibility—a cause close to her heart. Stephy's unconventional yet effective approach underscores her belief in the universal language of design, shaped by listening, understanding, and responding to user needs.

In an increasingly digital world, Stephy stands as a guardian of accessibility, a designer par excellence, and a storyteller whose narratives resonate in her designs. Her commitment to creating inclusive spaces is not just a profession but a passion—one that shines as brightly as her designs.
