Stephani Diep is a former Google software engineer turned painter whose practice blends systems thinking with expressive, narrative-driven art. Drawing from her background in technology and interdisciplinary research, she approaches painting with both structural rigor and emotional depth.

She has worked with organizations including Google, IBM, Boeing, the U.S. Navy, MIT, Purdue University, and TEDx Honolulu. Her work is held in collections at Stanford University, Google offices throughout California, Harvard University, and public library branches in Yosemite, California.

Stephani creates figurative paintings that explore identity, diaspora, survival, and performance. In the classroom, she encourages students to develop technical confidence while cultivating the courage to tell their own stories with clarity and authenticity.
