Portrait of Yuliia Stepanova, Brand and Visual Designer in St. Gallen

I'm Yuliia Stepanova, a Brand & Visual Designer based in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

I create visual communication that helps brands build a strong, consistent and recognizable presence across digital and physical touchpoints.

My experience spans brand identity, graphic design, art direction, e-commerce content, digital campaigns, print, image retouching, photography, video and AI-assisted creative production.

My background in print and textile design has shaped a strong sensitivity to colour, composition, detail and visual storytelling, while my experience in commercial design allows me to translate creative concepts into practical marketing assets — from brand visuals and campaigns to e-commerce content, websites, banners, presentations, brochures and sales materials.

I enjoy working across the entire visual process: developing an idea, defining its visual direction and transforming it into a coherent system that works across different channels.

Design Philosophy

I don't see design as a collection of separate assets. I see it as a visual system. From the first idea to the final image, every touchpoint should speak the same visual language.
