Hello,
I believe in designing with Heart, Grit, & Unapologetic Joy
I'm Jeigh Stewart (he/him, they/them), a joyful disruptor and strategic visionary rooted in rural grit, queer advocacy, and collaborative design. As the a founder and creative lead of Gender Ruckus, I fuse hairstyling, graphic design, web building, and punk-infused branding to amplify marginalized voices and build inclusive platforms.
"We believe design should be loud, collaborative, and deeply intentional."
