Nuñez

Stephanie

I grew up in Brooklyn between three worlds: my mother’s Ecuador, my father’s Dominican Republic, and the New York City I was born into. Different accents, traditions, and versions of home taught me early that there’s rarely just one way to tell a story.

That instinct to translate still shapes my work. A memory becomes a sketch. A place becomes a palette. Something overlooked becomes a motif. I’m drawn to the details we carry with us—a flower growing through a crack, a childhood object, a pattern underfoot, a tree remembered years later.

My practice moves across illustration, surface pattern design, and fiber art, connected by travel, memory, identity, and curiosity. I draw things not exactly as they were, but as I remember them. Sometimes those drawings become patterns; sometimes they find their way into thread.

Different materials, like different languages, give me another way to tell the same story.
