ABOUT
STEPHANIE MOTT
Dragon Belly Creative, Founder and Creative Professional
My career as a graphic designer, art director and creative director has revolved around small teams making it work — often without the resources of bigger companies. I’ve experienced the challenges and rewards of problem-solving when you don’t have a horde of marketing, sales and IT people to back you up.
I love supporting small businesses and nonprofits because entrepreneurs and people who build careers at nonprofits are passionate about what they do and care deeply about the communities they serve. I use my talents to help organizations like these reach their potential and feel proud of their brands.
I foster a collaborative process where, together, we create assets that look great, sound like you and feel like you. I’m also process-oriented, which means I advise clients on ways to organize their information beyond their visual identities. After all, at its most fundamental, design is the organization of information.
When I’m not running my small business, I enjoy going on adventures with my family, drawing, reading, crafts, hiking and paddleboarding. I’m a fantasy/sci-fi fan (hence the dragon name) who loves books and movies of that genre, and I've been known to reread and rewatch my favorites over and over again.
As a busy business owner, who wears too many hats, I have found working with Stephanie at Dragon Belly Creative is essential in pushing my business to the next level. Her work is professional, well thought out, introspective, and always beautiful. I value her ability to ask questions I have not thought of, to fill in blanks where I did not notice, and to do all her work very efficiently. She listens to my ideas and helps me see them come to life with care and diligence. I cannot recommend her enough.”
