While pursuing her MA in Sustainable Design at MCAD, her goal is to expand her knowledge of sustainable design practices and to realign her career focus as an Industrial Designer. Reducing material waste within her industry is Stephanie's overarching sustainability goal that will emphasize and improve on her design philosophy, influenced by her favorite designers, Ray and Charles Eames. Their mentality of “What works good is better than what looks good, because what works good lasts,” inspires her design process as she strives to find a happy-medium between aesthetically pleasing and transformative products, spaces, and furniture.
