As an experienced illustrator, Stephanie has developed strategies that help her draw better- slowing down, looking more closely at things. But, in a broader sense, she discovered that this process can encourage us to think beyond our preconceived notions and judgements and build empathy to foster stronger connections.

Stephanie Carter is a Vancouver-based creative entrepreneur and illustrator who works with agencies and brands to communicate through the voice of illustration. After spending 15+ years in the illustration industry she knows how illustration can bring concepts to life in marketing and communications. It adds mood and impact that can truly engage the viewer in ways different than photography. Stephanie has worked with many Fortune500 companies including Time Inc., Honda, Microsoft, Starbucks, Huffington Post, The Royal Canadian Mint and Canada Post. She is a two-time winner of the Lotus Award for “Best Illustration in Advertising”. In addition to illustration, she is the owner of Imagezoo a stock illustration company representing over 400 artists worldwide. She is also the creator of an art licensing brand under the pseudonym Lily Ashbury with a range of products including stationery, fabrics and gift items. Stephanie has also taught at both Emily Carr and Capilano University.
