After graduating from the University of Western Australia in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Classics, Stephanie studied Set and Costume Design at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. In her designs there is a sense of history in service to the production, as well as a desire to find and share the beauty in objects, to bring to the stage the lost, the strange and imagined in harmony or juxtaposition. She is old-fashioned, without being traditional and loves to experiment with different media in art. Her goal is to design for every play in Shakespeare's canon.
