About Steph

Hi, I'm Steph — a creative based in Sussex, UK, working towards becoming an artist.

I paint colourful abstract pieces and make designed objects, and I'm slowly building a body of work I'm proud to call my own. This is where I'm documenting that process — the practice, the progress, the pieces that work and the ones that don't.

Welcome!

What this space is

This website is where everything comes together: my art, the objects I make, and the story of building this properly — alongside the everyday moments that keep me inspired. Quiet countryside walks, colour, the beauty in ordinary days — it's all part of the same thread. I share the fuller journey on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok as it happens, and this is the home for it.

A bit more about me

I've always been drawn to making things — I studied art, photography, and product design before life nudged me toward "more sensible" paths. Along the way, I picked up a wide range of creative and commercial skills: design, marketing, branding, and a bit of everything in between.

There's a quote that's stuck with me for years: "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." For a long time, I only knew the first half, and it made me doubt whether I had anything worth calling my own. Learning the rest of it changed how I think about everything I've picked up along the way — not scattered, just gathered. Now I'm bringing all of it together into one thing: building a creative life and a business around what I actually love making.
