Stephanie Milanowski enrolled in college at the age of 14, eventually receiving a merit-based, full ride scholarship to study Graphic Design at Rhode Island School of Design, where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. From owning her own business to Herman Miller Inc. to earning a Master's in Fine Arts from the University of Michigan, Milanowski continued her competitive streak. In summer 1994 she was 1 of just 20 students worldwide admitted to the Yale University School of Art Summer Program in Brissago, Switzerland, where she studied and befriended art and design luminaries including Paul Rand, Mario Botta, Wolfgang Weingart, Pierre Mendell and Armin and Dorothea Hofmann.
Milanowski has taught and lectured graphic design at the college level. She has illustrated children's books for HarperCollins, McGraw-Hill, Cricket and major U.S. publishers, and has designed hundreds of book jackets and covers for best-selling authors, publishing companies and university presses nationwide. One of the first books Milanowski illustrated was for Katherine Paterson, author of ""Bridge to Teribithia,"" titled ""Who am I?"" Having learned the art of letterpress and book making at Rhode Island School of Design Milanowski's work and recognition as a book artist exploded when she hand-bound 1,200 books for Oprah Winfrey and many other distinguished customers. Working since 1997 as a contract graphic designer, illustrator and entrepreneur, Milanowski's projects have included holiday cards for the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, as well as custom designs of national exhibition collateral for world recognized artists/sculptors including Dale Chihuly, Dietrich Klinge, Mark di Suvero, Magdalena Abakanowicz and Louise Bourgeois, to name a few.
Milanowski recently published a collection of stories from her life as a highly-sensitive, unwitting clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairsentient, and claircognizant. Can you hear what other people are thinking? How about using telepathy to communicate with others? Or have you ever been visited by a deceased relative? "Clairvoyage" is about artist and graphic designer Stephanie Milanowski experiencing all these things and more. Most people don’t ever encounter these phenomena, fewer have repeat encounters, and fewer still are able to control and interpret these extrasensory abilities. Imagine a world where psychic abilities and precognition were commonplace; possessed and used by everyone. As a child, that is exactly what Milanowski thought the world was like. She thought her natural, extraordinary abilities were shared by everyone. Growing up, Milanowski showed a high level of creativity and achievement, which contributed to her isolation making it easier for her to dismiss or hide her abilities. At 43 years of age, after decades of denial and suppressing her capabilities, a chance reading opened the flood gates of acceptance and ushered Milanowski into a new life of embracing her abilities and using them to help others.
