Hello! Welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by!
I am Jaci Steffan. I am a graphic designer, web designer, wife, mom and homemaker. Steffan Design provides insights on a variety of topics from graphic and web design tips and tricks to bits and pieces of everyday life.
Design
After graduating from high school I developed a passion and love for graphic and web design. I attended Dixie State College and earned a degree in Information Technology with a Visual Technologies emphasis (basically a graphic and web design degree). Since starting my design journey I have contributed my design skills to a variety of realms including religious, government, small business, start-ups, and contract jobs.
Design encompasses a large variety of mediums including logos and branding, package design, brochure, marketing design, and web design. I enjoy the variety that comes from this broad field. I have recently opened an etsy shop (Steffan Design) in hopes of providing affordable quality designs for decor projects. It has been a fun adventure so far! I have learned a lot and am excited to continue providing customers with quality designs.
Homemaking
Homemaking isn’t something I have always had a passion for. After having kids and being a stay-at-home-mom I have gained a desire to improving my kid’s life at home. Our homes should be a sanctuary for our families. They should be the safe zone from the demands and pressures of the outside world. Homemaking is the art of making a house fell like a home. It can be done a variety of ways like adding pictures, home decor, having a home cooked meal ready at dinnertime, and providing a positive uplifting atmosphere for our families.
Mom Life
When people say being a mom is more than a full time job they aren’t kidding! Being a mom can take as much or as little time as we are willing and able to put into it. My kids sure know how to keep me on my toes! Each phase they go through brings new experiences, challenges and joys to my life. Most moms have more experience than I do, but I am happy to share solutions to problems that I have encountered in hopes that it will help someone else in the same shoes I am in.
Recipes
Growing up I didn’t spend much time in the kitchen. While working an internship I temporarily lived with a co-worker and his wife. As a result they showed me that cooking can be simple, fun, and delicious. I have developed a love for freezer meals. They can be a lot of work up front, but they sure do pay off in the long run. So if a recipe works as a freezer meal it is definitely a bonus in my books!
In conclusion, a friend of mine once told me people that think they know a lot about a certain topic usually don’t know very much, and people that know a lot about a topic know there is always more to learn. I am by no means an expert in all of these topics, but I am excited to share what I do know about them. We all have had different life experiences that as a result provide us each with unique perspectives. Please feel free to leave insightful comments on my posts sharing your unique perspectives on these topics.
