About

Hi, I'm Stephanie

I enjoy turning complex challenges into experiences that feel clear, familiar, and easy to use.

Portrait of Stephanie Holt

Before UX, I spent more than a decade shaping customer experiences by listening to people, solving problems alongside customers, and building trust. Those experiences strengthened my ability to ask thoughtful questions, communicate clearly, and create positive outcomes for people and the businesses they rely on.


Today, I work as a school bus driver, where I continue to observe human behavior, make thoughtful decisions under pressure, and navigate real-world challenges with people, safety, and accessibility in mind.


Every role I've had has helped shape the principles that guide my work today.

beyond ux

Outside of design, I enjoy creating experiences that make everyday life feel a little more welcoming. Whether I'm decorating my home, creating artwork, sewing, trying a new recipe, or discovering a cozy coffee shop, I'm drawn to experiences that help people feel comfortable and connected.


I'm also a proud dog mom to Xola and Nyla, who keep life entertaining and remind me to appreciate the simple moments.

I find inspiration in everyday experiences, and I think that's one of the reasons I enjoy designing for people.
