Hey, I’m Shea 👋

Award-winning designer, art director, and photographer.

Over a decade of experience

Over the last 13 years, I’ve been put through my paces in the industry; learning, growing, problem-solving, and improving.

I’ve gained valuable experience crafting thoughtful, strategic, and beautiful design solutions that elevate brands and connect with audiences.

Deep expertise - broad knowledge

I specialize in brand identity design, creative direction, and visual storytelling—bringing clarity and cohesion to brands through strong concepts, intentional typography, and a detail-obsessed design approach. I’ve worked with a range of companies across hospitality, tech, wellness, and professional services—leading rebrands, launching campaigns, and building systems that scale.

Lead with empathy

My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. I believe the best creative is driven by insight and built on trust. I love digging into the heart of a brand, uncovering what makes it special, and translating that into a visual language that feels both distinctive and aligned.
