MEET THE FOUNDER:
|
My name is Stephanie and I founded Chicago Urban Pets in 2012. I am a young woman who is happily juggling her passions in life: Animals, Design and Parenting.
My formal education is in Architecture & Design and I play an active role in the design community, often participating in architectural design competitions around the world. I am also an adjunct teaching faculty at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. (SAIC) Prior to this, I received a Bachelors of Architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) here in Chicago.
You can check out my design practice called Chicago Underground Practice Here
Animals are my parallel passion in life! As a former dressage rider I spent my childhood in the stables being exposed to all types & sizes of animals. I have over 15+ years of animal care experience, both caring for my own dogs and cats are well as neighbors and friends; which I often did for extra income during and after my university studies.
When my son Luca was born in 2018, a new chapter of life started for me that turned everything upside down (In a good way). My creative outlet for this new passion in life is a Blog by the name Mama Questions. It focuses on Gentle Parenting and Toddler life. You can check out the Blog Here
We are continuously growing our pet sitting business and we look forward to creating long term relationships with both the animals, owners, and other team members of the community.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Surjan
