Stéphanie Johansson is a multi-disciplinary visual designer. Half Swedish and half Peruvian, her roots in these countries and cultures have informed her design to be versatile and diverse. She applies both digital and analog craft; sourcing and creating materials in unexpected ways. Her work is playful, conceptual, utilitarian and expressive.

After studying at Paul Poiret for Costume Design in Paris, Stéphanie graduated from Handelsakademin in Gothenburg, Sweden, concentrating her studies in Visual Merchandising. She speaks four languages, and is influenced stylistically by classical Parisian design, modern Scandinavian minimalism, and the bold colors of Peru. Her hybrid approach captures both modern and timeless aesthetics in a progressive, visionary way.

Recently, she has worked at CDW Merchants in Chicago  to create and source custom materials for retail store props for fashion brands such as Guess and Vera Bradley. She styled CDW Merchants set design for catalog shoots, and subsequently archived their vast object collection. Stéphanie also produced the design for the CDW Merchants and Keenpac booths for GlobalShop two years in a row, collaborating with a talented team of industrial and graphic designers. In 2016, Stéphanie won the Outstanding Booth Award from VMSD Magazine for her dynamic, multi-functional design concept. 

Currently, she works and lives in New York City.  For inquiries, email: hi@stephaniejohansson.com
