Stacey Hsi is quite a skittish girl who enjoys graphic design, writing, visual art, fiber arts, and several other creative pursuits.

She is a 2013 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where she studied creative writing and architecture. She has a strong affinity for both visual and verbal communication, and is passionate about finding ways to effectively convey ideas and concepts through image, design, and the written word.

Currently, she is employed as a writer and designer at Finch Care, a virtual pet app focused on making self care fun through gamification. In this role, she focuses on bringing the characters to life through unique and colorful dialogue and visual design, as well as provides design support in a variety of other categories.

Other notable experience includes:

  • since 2019, being the sole copywriter for Occasionalish, a small gifts and accessories business based in the San Francisco Bay Area,

  • curating and designing gallery walls and other wall art recommendations for clients with Minted, a luxury stationery and home decor company,

  • freelance graphic design work (particularly focusing on stationery and book designs) with clients such as the Carnegie Mellon University Press and the University of Pittsburgh Press.

In her free time, Stacey enjoys knitting, learning foreign languages, practicing her hand lettering, and producing art. Some of her favorite things include soft animals, the color yellow, and whistling in stairwells. You can find her on Instagram @skttsh and @_teafornomads.
