HI, I'M SHANNON
The fun stuff:
I'm a passionate hiker, travel enthusiast, avid reader, and proud mom of two frenchies! But that's not all, I'm also deeply in love with design!
​
I'm all about teamwork and collaboration. I find great joy in working with others, especially when it comes to learning and growing as a design professional. I'm excited to take on new challenges and help nurture the next generation of designers.
​
But I'm not just about design - I'm also a bit of a puzzle-solver! I absolutely love a good challenge, and I'm always eager to ask questions and explore new ways of thinking.
​
So, if you're ever in need of a design-loving, puzzle-solving, collaborative team player, I'm your gal!

The technical stuff:
As an Art Director with 14+ years of experience, I'm a seasoned pro at maintaining brand identity and bringing creative concepts to life. My design skills are versatile and dynamic, spanning everything from catalogs to lookbooks, web and social assets, print collateral, signage, brochures, and special projects.
​
I thrive in fast-paced environments and have a proven track record of delivering top-notch results. Whether I'm collaborating with team members or communicating with clients, my excellent written and verbal communication skills are always on point.
​
In short, if you're looking for an Art Director who's both a creative powerhouse and a joy to work with, then I'm your person!
