Artist and Maker

Stephanie Kreuz grew up in Maryland and moved west in 2010 to pursue an MFA at Mills College. She graduated with a focus in fiction and went on to work in educational publishing for several years before later moving into the startup and tech world.

A creative at heart, she never stopped thinking about her next project. She started Kreuzberg Design in 2015 as an outlet for exploring her artistic interests outside of her career. 

And while her creative business no longer exists, she’s since nurtured her artistic side and returned to mediums she had left behind at the start of her career including photography, jewelry making, painting, and knitting, among many others. 

In 2018, she focused on abstract art and  spent the year defining her style. An avid photographer for over 12 years, she used her keen eye in composition to lay the ground work for her art, creating shapes and forms that draw the eye across the canvas. Her inspiration often came from shapes in nature including flowers, clouds, and the ocean. In particular, she was drawn to complementary colors and tended to work with a limited palette. 

As of 2022, she started working on a novel about witches.

When she’s not making art, she spends her time antiquing and watching Gilmore Girls reruns. She lives in Northern California with her dog Honey.
