DESIGN WITH A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH
Hi, I am visual storyteller and sustainability leader focusing on designing meaningful experiences, motivating action and making the complex easy to understand. As an aspiring polymath with a penchant for beauty and a heart for the world, I seek to learn as much as possible to pave the way for new connections. I think solutions should be inspiring visually while being respectful to people and the planet. I have honed my visual design, storytelling skills with a sustainable approach to collaborate with you—business owners and operators, educators, students, researchers, scientists, data analysts and field experts—free agents, non-profits, government entities and corporations. Let's work together to unleash your story and make sure it gets heard, seen and understood by your target audience.
With a Masters in Sustainable Design and 15+ years designing for small businesses to global corporations and everything in-between, Shanna brings vital experience and pure passion to the practice of creating a healthy and beautiful planet for all citizens and species—through systems thinking, holistic practices and inspirational visuals. Experienced and passionate about a variety of industries including: environmental, apparel, sport/athletic, education, food/wine, financial, retail, B2B, public awareness, campaigns and events.
