270. Steffe Harwood: "Truth Over Expectations"

Steffe Harwood is a same race domestic adoptee, quilter, designer, artist, (unlicensed) architect, disc golfer, and backpacker (like camping).

She likes to think that she is a renaissance woman, a woman of many talents. Steffe loves to make stuff. In her free time she does a lot of volunteer work with kids teaching them design and architecture, volunteering in the forest preserve, and with Disc Golf Chicago to bring the sport to more folks in the city.
