Available to hire
Hi, I’m Stephanie Gobby, a passionate designer and illustrator with extensive experience in graphic design and visual culture. Over the years, I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients, from local businesses to national brands, creating custom designs and illustrations that meet precise brand standards. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge as an adjunct professor, teaching students industry standard software and guiding them through a thoughtful creative process.
I love combining creativity with strategy to deliver compelling visual solutions and support teams to achieve outstanding results. When I’m not designing or teaching, I run Sherbet Punch Studios where I bring unique projects like Hunkidoree Resort to life through illustration and merchandise.
