Shannon, an Associate Professor of Graphic Design at Eastern Kentucky University, completed her MFA at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2013. She is deeply involved in the design community, serving as the Programming Director of AIGA Lou and Co-Education Chair of Ad Club Lex. Drawing inspiration from her upbringing as a 90’s kid, Shannon infuses her designs with an artistic heart.

Throughout her career, Shannon has immersed herself in diverse cultures, explored beautiful trails, savored delicious food, and absorbed wisdom from great speakers. Shannon's personal style thrives in branding, collage, motion, and illustration, culminating in her debut as a children's book author and illustrator with "Some Days Feel Stormy" in 2022.

Beyond her design work, Shannon finds joy in nature, often spotted walking trails or snuggling with her cats, Sans and Serif. She is an avid reader, with her nose often buried in a book, and is committed to expanding her linguistic horizons through the study of German and Spanish.

Prost!
