I'm Ilene and I love to design
I’m Ilene, the owner, and designer of Star Stream Design. Established over 20 years ago, Star Stream Design has evolved from a layout and design enterprise to corporate identity development to personalized stationery products. Our specialization is in customizable paper goods, apparel, and gifts with keen attention to typography, one of my passions.
In the beginning:
Coming from a creative family, I knew my future would be in an artistic vocation. Becoming an award-winning, professional graphic designer and art director came as a natural progression after earning a degree in fine arts, followed by formal training in graphic design. While working as a full-time designer, I took up freelancing, and Star Stream Design was born, working in the corporate world by day and freelancing the rest of the time.
The rest:
I accidentally discovered the world of Print-on-Demand and established shops on a variety of websites. I found my way to Etsy where I love working one-on-one with clients to create invitations and other paper goods and gifts for every moment in life. From weddings to graduations to holiday party invitations to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah, I pride myself in the variety of designs and occasions for which I design. I have never been able to define my graphic style except to consider it versatile. Conceptual design is something for which I strive, with the goal being an effective visual concept. The impression behind a printed piece is vital to me as it derives and has been influenced by years in advertising, publishing, and marketing. A customer’s aim is to “sell” their event or occasion and having a theme come together for a function is gratifying, especially when it is followed through on all aspects of the event.
I love what I do.
