ABOUT ME

My story

ABOUT ME

My story

Hello, I’m Shannon—a multi-disciplinary designer focusing on editorial, illustrative, and immersive design. Above all, I tell stories through design.

I consistently draw from my experiences in architecture, journalism, non-profits, museum curation, and fine arts.

I honed my editorial design skills at the Star Tribune, The Daily Orange, and the Syracuse Stand. Whenever I get the chance, I love designing for good causes, such as the annual Pixels & Print workshop.

Last year, I was chosen as the 2023 SND Student Designer of the Year and received the SND Marshall Matlock Award.

Currently, I am working on freelance projects as I search for my dream full-time position. Recently, I returned from an internship in Cape Town, South Africa with the Kolisi Foundation.
