STEPHANIE tevonian

stephanie_tevonian@fitnyc.edu

Stephanie was born and nurtured in Washington Heights, distinguished at George Washington High School, humbled at Vassar College majoring in French Literature and History, and even landed an MFA in Graphic Design at Yale amongst the early masters (Paul Rand on Fridays: excellent, but intimidating).

From working in publishing with Grove Press, to joining Hans van Dijk and the late Keith Godard as part of Studio Works, and designing a few cookbooks in between, Stephanie has taught at FIT since 1994. Stephanie gained confidence in her ability throughout to think, read, write and design simply, but complexly, with attention to detail and hierarchy while relishing wonderful typography. And, of course, creating as such with a sense of humor and some dreadful puns.
