Hi there!
I’m Victoria, the founder and creative brains behind It’s Victoria Stefania. I started my instagram @itsvictoriastefania back in May 2021. What was simply supposed to be an outlet for my passion in graphic design after quitting university quickly grew into the will to create a living for myself doing what I’ve loved since I was a teenager.
I never really had a dream of starting my own business, nor did I really see a future for myself as a designer. In 2017 I started becoming bored with my retail job where I had no way of being creative in the way I wanted. I applied for a web design program at Linnaeus University in Växjö and got in! Amaaaaazing!
Two years in I started feeling burnt out and realized my passions weren’t in web design at all but in graphic design & branding. I made the decision to quit and instead hoped on some courses in community college. At the same time I decided to start my IG account, solely with the purpose of putting my designs out there as a sort of portfolio.
One thing eventually led to another, and now I own my own business while also working part time as an optical assistant!
