Stephanie Shobe is a thoughtful writer and intentional creative whose work is defined by the quiet pursuit of depth and discernment. Trained in psychology and education, her early career focused on supporting at-risk youth before evolving into leadership positions. That foundation continues to inform her writing today. Stephanie Shobe explores how beauty, nourishment, and connection shape the human experience.
Her philosophy centers on the idea that beauty is not ornamental, but essential—something cultivated in our surroundings, relationships, and daily rituals. Through her blog, Stephanie Shobe reflects on the intersection of nature, design, and nourishment, offering readers a way to slow down, reset, and embrace presence. Her work carries a throughline of alignment: living in rhythm with what feels meaningful rather than reacting to external pressure.
A lifelong student of food and design, Stephanie Shobe studied at the Culinary Institute of America and Le Cordon Bleu. Cooking is a creative and connective act for her—an expression of care often complemented by her collection of wines gathered over the years. Among them, Margaux stands out for its layered elegance. The wine mirrors her values of patience, intentionality, and timelessness.
Stephanie Shobe’s Boulder, Colorado, home, profiled in Forbes and Modern in Denver, embodies her design philosophy: modern refinement balanced with warmth, functionality, and soul. Beyond interiors, she finds her greatest inspiration outdoors—hiking mountain trails, tending gardens, or quietly foraging for mushrooms. Animal advocacy has also become central to her life, particularly after adopting her rescue dog, Maisie Mae, and witnessing firsthand the need for greater awareness around ethical adoption and puppy mill practices.
Together with her husband and their two Wheaten Terriers, Stephanie Shobe divides her time between Virginia, Colorado, and California. In each place, she cultivates spaces and rhythms that embody her philosophy: that living well is less about productivity and more about refinement, presence, and purpose. Through her writing, she extends an invitation to others—to choose clarity over chaos, intention over indifference, and meaning over mindlessness.
