Aimee's Story

Aimee Stevland built her design career in the entertainment industry, managing creative teams and contributing to campaigns for brands like EA, Coca-Cola, and artists like Mariah Carey, Usher, and The Beatles.

Aimee’s story took an unexpected turn when she developed focal dystonia, a neurological condition left her unable to use her dominant drawing hand. Determined to continue her work, she adapted by retraining her body and creative process, which led to her transition into digital art.

Music has been a powerful healing force, and Aimee especially enjoys creating portraits of music icons. She holds the unique distinction of producing the largest tribute of original Janet Jackson illustrations, beloved by fans for nearly 30 years.

In this limited podcast series, Aimee takes the lid off her own life experiences to explore the stories of the interesting and talented people she’s met along the way. Discover some real-life \"influencers\" as an alternative to the algorithm of artificial fame.

Come to hear Aimee’s weird mid-western accent, stay for the stories and maybe a little inspiration.
