Since 2005, Stephanie Gleit’s design work has focused primarily on museum exhibit graphics. She has been the in-house senior graphic designer at both the Miami Science Museum and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. Her work has included a large variety of projects ranging from collateral pieces, annual reports and magazines publications, web and print ads, billboards, wayfinding signage, environmental graphics, bilingual exhibit design and interpretive panels. Working collaboratively, art direction and exhibit development are other areas in which Stephanie has extensive experience. Her graphic design clients include the Miami Science Museum, Frost Science Museum, Everglades Foundation, Delaware Museum of Natural History, National Liberty Museum, URJ Camp Harlam, Center for Hope and Weaver House Company.
Stephanie has been working in the visual arts for 30 years. She received her BFA in printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA in printmaking from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. Her experiences include work as an archaeological illustrator, a bookbinder, a ceramicist, and a printmaker. Soon after art school, Stephanie discovered a love of weaving. She has been studying, reading about and practicing every minute she can find for the last 20 years between raising her two boys and working as a graphic designer. Weaving allows her to explore color, pattern and our ties to the ancient world. Her goal is to make beautiful pieces that will brighten the dullest chore, bring warmth on a cold day or charm to any outfit. Life is hard enough, so shouldn’t drying dishes be a little more enjoyable with a towel made by hand?
