about me

Narrative Design – Communications – Social Entrepreneur – Maker

I am a London based narrative designer specialising in social innovation design, sustainable environmental design, public artworks, experiential design and place-making with an emphasis on community engagement and harnessing the power of design for positive change.

Narrative design sits at the intersection between storytelling and spatial design, combining two strands I am passionate about – stories and design.

To compliment my design practice, I work part-time at Central Saint Martins University of Arts as a communications specialist within the Spatial Practices Department, for whom I write a blog and maintain social media channels. 

I enjoy collaborating and promote co-design as part of my creative process,  working  within multi-disciplinary teams. I have a talented group of designers I can call in for design projects. I aim to create designed environments that positively impact and enhance people’s lives and interactions.

To find out more about the way I like to work, check out this short film I made: Make ideas happen!

I have worked with a range of clients and organisations including the Barbican Arts Centre, Speaker’s Corner Trust, the British Paralympic Association and the Chelsea Flower Show.

Whilst on maternity leave, I founded the social enterprise goodmakes. Working with a variety of participants including refugees, mothers, at-risk teenagers and the elderly,  goodmakes is a social enterprise that offers textile design workshops that encourage integration, place-making, community building and friendship through shared narratives that inspire the design of the fabrics. 

Inspired by shared stories around a specific topic, the workshop participants design uniquely beautiful fabrics that are produced and printed in the UK. The fabrics are made into a range of products from shoulder bags for migrant teenagers starting a new school, wash-bags for refugees to store products in, tea-towels to gift to friends or  to cute trousers for grandchildren.

I love to hear about new opportunities & ideas and I’m always happy to meet for a coffee and a chat so get in touch via email at stephanieromig@gmail.com
