Our Team
Stefan Romero
Project Director
Stefan Romero is the visionary founder of America's Tapestry. With conservatory training in visual and theatrical arts, Stefan oversees the design of each state embroidery panel. Fascinated with the intersection between archival inquiry and sartorial significance, Stefan is committed to telling stories that can only be told through textile-based sources.
His costume design work has been seen on stage and film. As a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Glasgow, Stefan studied Dress and Textiles where he assisted on an exhibition in the Borders Region of Scotland, traveled to London to work on a period film set, and examined diaries at the archives of the University of Georgia. Stefan is excited to see where his work takes him next.
