Stefan Romero is an interdisciplinary costume designer, public historian, and textile artist. Fascinated by the intersection between archival inquiry and satorial significance, Stefan is committed to telling American stories through textile-based sources.

He is the founder and director of America’s Tapestry, a collaborative community embroidery project commemorating America’s 250th Anniversary.

The project involves the public in the practice of embroidery while preserving the nation’s shared history accessible through arts programming.
