Adrian Matthias Stevens and Sean Querino Snyder are the creative forces behind the brand Stevens and Snyder, where they blend their passion for beadwork, dance, and advocacy to celebrate and preserve cultural heritage. Adrian is affiliated with the Northern Ute, Shoshone Bannock, and San Carlos Apache tribes, while Sean proudly represents the Diné and Southern Ute tribes. Together, they honor their diverse backgrounds through their artistry and community involvement.

As skilled artisans, they create intricate beadwork that not only showcases their artistic talents but also tells powerful stories rooted in tradition and identity. In 2024, they won first-place ribbons at the SWAIA Indian Market for their beaded Birkin handbag, a testament to their craftsmanship and innovation.

Both Adrian and Sean are dedicated advocates for social justice and cultural awareness, actively participating in various campaigns aimed at uplifting underrepresented voices and fostering community engagement. Their commitment to advocacy is exemplified in their collaborative work on the short documentary Sweetheart Dancers, released in 2019. This film highlights the significance of dance as a form of cultural expression, showcasing the beauty and diversity of dance traditions.

Through Stevens and Snyder, Adrian and Sean continue to inspire others by merging art with activism, creating a platform that amplifies cultural narratives and promotes inclusivity within the community.
