Elizabeth Stephenson was born an 80’s baby into a large family in Cincinnati, Ohio and has been getting older ever since. She showed a natural inclination for the performing arts at a young age, especially dancing and singing. She soloed in Cincinnati’s Memorial Hall at age 8 and turned down a record deal at 17 to pursue a business career. After moving with her family to Atlanta, Georgia, Elizabeth fell in love with the South. She graduated from the University of Georgia in 2006 on a full academic scholarship, often appearing on the Dean’s List and on the dance floor with her salsa troupe.
Her intellectual edge became more apparent in adulthood—marked by a sharp instinct for patterns, strategy, and seeing the bigger picture. She focused on building a career in the special event industry, working across many areas of event production. Before that, she held a wide range of jobs starting at age 13 in her dad’s medical office—everything from running a church summer camp to remodeling homes, modeling, and more. She also began teaching Pilates and yoga in 2004 and continues to do so today. She now owns and operates a luxury event planning company while managing a private social club for premier networking in Atlanta. Sleep is…aspirational.
She began writing The Really Big Picture series in 2016 as a self-funded passion project. She dreams of its words spreading across the world, but for right now she’s really just happy to have so much love and passion in her life. She’s definitely not perfect and intends to build a perfectly imperfect brand based on that reality and her candor.
These days you can usually catch her working out, hiking, napping, eating chocolate and spending time with friends – sometimes all at the same time. Friends would describe her as laid back, fun, open-minded, and loving. What she loves most about life is the people. Which makes sense because people are awesome.
