As the owner of Stefanie Loves Design, a digital download provider, I embarked on a business journey that started with Midwest Wild Child. Within just six months, I achieved remarkable success, emerging as one of the top 1% of shops selling on Etsy. This accomplishment was truly exhilarating and brought me immense joy. The support and loyalty of my clients during this time were unparalleled.

Before I knew it, as Stefanie Loves Designs grew, I swiftly gained recognition and was ranked 19th in the nation for sales. With a strong commitment to providing quality digital downloads, I decided to broaden my horizons and made the strategic decision to shift my business to Shopify. This platform allows me to cater not only to established tee sellers with six and seven-figure incomes, but allows me to offer a subscription model for digital downloads.

I also share my expertise and knowledge by educating those who aspire to create their own SVG and PNG files for printing tees, mugs, hats, and all sorts of other merchandise.

Stefanie Loves Design is not just a business; it's a manifestation of my passion for design and my genuine desire to help others express themselves through unique and personalized creations. I am grateful for the journey and excited for the opportunities that lie ahead

I didn't always have this business. But I LOVE it and  I call my career a FULL CIRCLE. 

I majored in Business Management, switched to Education, and then I quit school. I quickly landed a job with a local book publishing company doing book editing and I jumped into designing book covers. I enrolled in some graphic design classes and soon had a job with a local marketing firm creating  advertising for all the local Burger King, Dominos, and Village Inn locations. I was so excited about what I was doing, I wanted to teach others.

This is where I jump back into school and I graduated with a bachelors degree in Business Education, a masters in Curriculum & Instruction and another masters in Leadership.

Yeah, I wasn't really teaching design, but Personal Finance, Marketing, Business Management, HTML and Keyboarding. In one of my classes, I taught students how to create designs for screen printing. I brought in a small desktop press and the rest is history. Twelve years ago I started an online tee boutique with Etsy, traveled to do shows and in June of 2019 I launched Midwest Wild Child now Stefanie Loves Design. Now, I'm doing everything I love! Design and teaching others how to do it too!

Some things I'm obsessed with: my SUP, riding my bike, walking, my juicer, infrared sauna blanket, self-care, Taco Tuesday at Muchachos, cinnamon teddy bears, my grand puppies, comfy tees & walking around barefoot with a Yeti full of H20.

I am the mama to two military boys. My oldest is now a civilian (age 26) and going to college and the other is part-time National Guard (age 24) who just returned from the Middle East, purchasing a home and contemplating what to do with this life. They have blessed me with the best grand puppies ever - Teddy & Beau! They are two years apart and are 100% brothers from two different litters of the same parents. ❤️❤️

I will never turn down a shot of Patron or a margarita. Especially the Cayman Jack margs! They are perfect to take to the lake kayaking' and SUP'in with friends & fam.

I always wanted to be a photographer, like a sports photographer or a candid photographer for news stories, but I was pushed into another line of work. My advice is if there is something you want to do with your life - DO IT. Don't let anyone tell you you can't, shouldn't or are not good enough. You ARE good enough! You ARE enough! I now live life on my terms and do what makes me happy!
