Stephanie Sprouse
Graphic Design and Illustration
Stephanie is Gravity Group’s in-house graphic design expert and a key member of our creative team. Her days stay interesting because of the continual challenge for each client of keeping designs feeling fresh, while making sure they are consistently on-brand. She’s an artist and a techie at heart, and especially loves any project where she can break out her iPad and pencil to mix computer-generated and hand-drawn graphics.
Outside of work, Stephanie enjoys fostering dogs and spending time with her own dog and cat. She also draws, both digitally and traditionally, for friends and family or when inspiration strikes. Whenever her hands are idle, she begins to doodle.
Some things you might not know about Stephanie
- For inspiration I Google and doodle.
- If I weren’t a design specialist, I’d be an architect.
- If I could live in a book/TV show/movie, I would choose Harold and the Purple Crayon.
