Hi, I’m Steph — founder of The Tenth House and resident brand & website designer. I also identify as a resource creator, writer, philosopher, artist, mystic, mother, and queer person. The work I do at The Tenth House is motivated by a desire to help people cultivate self-awareness, embrace their uniqueness, get clear on what they need and want, express themselves, and expand into their infinite potential through business and entrepreneurship.

In general, I help people achieve results by asking intuitive and strategic questions, by drawing on my lived experience and educational background in philosophy, business, yoga & meditation, visual arts, marketing, and brand & website design, and by utilizing the tools of Human Design and Astrology in a grounded, practical way (and in case you’re curious, I am a 3/5 Sacral Manifesting Generator in Human Design and a Capricorn Sun, Sagittarius Moon, Aries Rising with a Capricorn stellium in the 10th house).

I have also learned from my own multifaceted and multi-passionate nature and created strategies and structures that help myself & my fellow “more than one thing” clients show up in the world in a way that feels fully expressed and unrestricted but also clear, organized, and cohesive for their ideal customers & clients.

The Tenth House brand & website design studio and digital space was named after the area of the astrology birth chart which represents your public life. This birth chart area (the 10th house) tells you about how you were designed to live out career, vocation, public roles, image, and reputation, your impact and influence on others, and your contribution to society — and so The Tenth House is a fitting name for this digital space, where you can come to get clear on how you want to show up in public and intentionally create what you need in order to do your work in the world.

The Tenth House was created to serve all sorts of open-minded people from diverse backgrounds and industries, but there’s a special seat at the table for the artists, the healers, the creatives, the multi-passionate individuals, the non-conforming queer folk, the visionary entrepreneurs, and the scrappy do-it-yourselfers.

If you are interested in a one-to-one collaboration, please read more about custom brand design and website design projects at The Tenth House to see if you resonate with the method and process, and feel free to email steph@thetenthhouse.ca with any questions.

The Tenth House is an inclusive space where kindness, integrity, self-awareness, authenticity, individuality, and connection are valued, practiced, and encouraged — and where discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated.

The Tenth House has also been built with a commitment to support the health and wellbeing of planet earth and all of her ecosystems, plants, animals, and humans. This is currently being done by donating money to and amplifying the voices of individuals and organizations specializing in activism and conservation work, signing petitions, having conversations, and generally trying to stay informed, conscious, and responsible with decisions both big and small.
