Stephanie Rhoades Hume is a Detroit-based visual storyteller and creative strategist whose work explores the relationship between people, place, and public life. She collaborates with cultural institutions, cities, and media organizations to develop image-driven narratives that shape how environments and moments of change are understood.

Her practice moves between independent documentary projects and commissioned storytelling. This dual perspective allows Stephanie to approach each assignment with journalistic sensitivity while also developing strategic visual frameworks that support long-term communication goals.

Stephanie’s process begins with listening and immersion. She works closely with partners to define visual language, identify narrative opportunities, and create cohesive storytelling systems across platforms.

She lives and works in Detroit, where she continues to document the city’s evolving landscapes and the people shaping its future.
