Aimee (Bruckner) Stevland is an experienced creative professional based in the San Francisco Bay area.
She spent most of her career in the entertainment industry managing creative teams in music merchandising, product development, and video game partnership marketing. Her work has contributed to the success of prominent brands like Electronic Arts and Coca-Cola, as well as music legends like Mariah Carey, Usher, The Beatles, and The Doors.
Years ago, Aimee’s professional design career nearly came to an end when an incurable neurological disorder called focal dystonia left her unable to use her dominant hand. Years of painful struggle led Aimee to adapt to her physical limitations, retraining her body, brain, and creative process, resulting in her transition to digital art.
Music has been a powerful healing force, and Aimee especially enjoys creating portraits of music icons. She holds the unique distinction of creating the largest tribute of original Janet Jackson illustrations, with an active fanbase spanning over 25 years.
Specializing in custom logo creation, brand development, and visual communication, Aimee is passionate about showcasing one’s unique message so that the rest of the world can understand and appreciate it.
