Steppie is an independent artist, creator, and entrepreneur from the Los Angeles area.

Best known for her pandas, Steppie Clothing was started in 2008 on Etsy as a playful creative project and has organically grown since.

After seven years in business, Steppie decided to press the pause button but knew it was more like a 'see you later' than a definite 'goodbye'. In December 2016, she opened up shop again and wrote a letter about her journey, growth, and new mission statement for the brand (read on http://thsteppie.com). While she spent a few years off Etsy to build her business on her own web domain, she is now back where she started to continue to cultivate and inspire the young dreamer and creator in her.

Steppie now juggles her time between being a mother, growing as a creative, and mastering her night time shift as a donut connoisseur at her family’s donut shop, California Donuts, in Koreatown, Los Angeles.
