About

Hey girl, hey! Thanks for stopping by to check out all of my handmade designs. I'm Stephanie, the creator, and girl behind I AM GIRL STEPHANIE.

I AM GIRL STEPHANIE is a one-woman-operated fashion accessories brand (although I say "we" and "our" a lot) that specializes in one-of-a-kind handmade statement earrings and fashion accessories. Our high-quality, bold, and unique statement accessories are not just accessories, they are conversation starters, known to turn heads. Based in Greenville, South Carolina and founded in 2020, we believe in creating and offering eclectic wearable art pieces that stand out and help women look and feel confident. We also share the desire to "shop with a purpose." In doing so, we've raised over $500 with our fundraiser in association with the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Giving back and supporting women battling breast cancer has always been near and dear to my heart. My late aunt lost her battle with breast cancer, and my mom, a breast cancer survivor, beat the disease. These personal experiences drive our mission. Chances are, many of us know someone who has been personally affected by breast cancer. Statistics show in 2024, an estimated 310,720 women and 2,800 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. According to research, 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

In 2020, we made a commitment to donate $1 of every purchase to our fundraiser to support women battling breast cancer. This is not just a business decision, it's a mission we are deeply passionate about. Now, every Pinktober, we continue to support and bring awareness by fundraising. Your purchases are not just about owning a one of a kind statement piece, they are wearable art pieces that help women look and feel confident while supporting the fight against breast cancer. 

Creating earrings began as a hobby, and experimenting with different mediums such as polymer clay, resin, and metal for over a decade became therapeutic for me to create. So, I turned my hobby into a business that has since been featured in fashion ad campaigns such as the Reebok x Pyer Moss collaboration, the Fashion & Lifestyle Editorial "Porter Magazine," and worn on celebrities such as "Pinky Cole," the founder of the wildly successful restaurant chain Slutty Vegan, and many more.

I love fashion, and having worked in the industry for over a decade, I've never been afraid to express my personality through style, whether it's through fun, playful prints or bold colors. I've always had an eclectic and bold style, and I want to share my love and style with the many other women who aren't afraid to be bold, stand in confidence, and make a statement. Here at I AM GIRL STEPHANIE, we believe in making a statement and expressing yourself through statement accessories. It is a major confidence booster. I'm so thankful to see all of my creations come to life and share my gift with many women who express their unique style with I AM GIRL STEPHANIE statement earrings and fashion accessories.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your unwavering support and for being a part of our journey. Your support means the world to us, and we couldn't have done what we did without you. We sincerely appreciate each purchase, share, and word of encouragement. You are not just customers but part of our girl gang community.

XO,

Girl Steph
