About

Design-driven with a global perspective, Janette Eusebio’s work is inspired by many forms of design: architecture, interior, and textile to name a few — and heavily influenced by a lifelong wanderlust that has taken her around the globe. She derives great joy from exploring the world with family and friends, continually pursuing new cultural experiences and art forms. Both her Filipino heritage and love of nature are featured prominently in her work.

Janette is particularly drawn to textures, patterns, and organic forms that have movement, which inspires pieces that are both bold and refined. Working in clay has been a meditative, grounding journey for her.

In 1990, Janette graduated with a BFA in Communication Design from Otis/Parsons, a private art and design school in Los Angeles, California. From 1990-1997 she lived and worked in New York City as a graphic designer before relocating to Phoenix, Arizona. In 2004, she founded Stir Design & Advertising, which she continues to oversee today.  

Every day is a new opportunity to create. Janette is a visual storyteller who excels in capturing a sense of place, a memory, or a feeling.

“What attracted me to ceramics were the tactile and three-dimensional aspects: using my hands to create something physical rather than designing on a computer screen. My greatest influences are textures, patterns found in nature, and cultural inspiration derived from my travels. Because my process is very organic and intuitive, naming, organizing, and describing my works has been a rewarding challenge.”
