Steph Kotula    

Hi there, I’m Steph, a Senior Product Designer. I’m currently designing products for real estate agents helping them work with buyers and sellers. I’m also a design educator and I love introducing the world of design to students.

I have 6 years of experience designing in agency, startup, and product environments. I’ve designed for clients big and small, startups, freelance clients and more. 

I consider myself a design nerd—I design not only for work but also as a hobby. I love how product design sits at the intersection of business, brand, and users (among many others). I love working with teams who encourage authenticity, close collaboration, and free-thinking.
