Designer, Artist, Marketer, Brand Builder
I am a multi-passionate creative with 15 years of experience in design and digital marketing. I am passionate about empowering start ups and small business owners by making design and marketing more accessible.
My goal is to bring the knowledge and experience i've gained working on big brands, to your small business.
​
Having worked in advertising agencies as a Designer and Creative Director, I have experience overseeing and working on 360 brand campaigns covering all marketing touch points. This allows me to bring a strategically sound longer view to your brand experience, over and above design.
​
When i'm not designing for clients you'll find me playing with art and making things! I paint, collage, decoupage, upcycle furniture and write when the mood strikes. I am fascinated with all things creative and have an insatiable urge to try everything! I believe that every human is creative and when we start to play
again, the artist in us comes out. You can follow along on my creative journey below.

What people say
Jonno
CEO, Real Meal Revolution
"She is impressive. She loves her work
and she loves her clients. And most importantly for us, our clients love us because of her work!"
"Shannon developed a totally new look and feel for our brand which was much better suited to our target customer.
Once we had the baseline design
assets, she then redesigned the UX on
our flagship product, which lead to us getting tons of positive feedback from
our clients. The cherry on top for our company was that when we conducted a demo of the site after the UX was coded and published, we landed a partnership
that is set to increase our bottom line
by about 500%."
Wilmie
Owner, Mathilde & Amélie
"Shannon was enthusiastic and made me feel that my small business and particular job was important to her."
I commissioned Shannon to do the necessary branding for Mathilde & Amélie. She captured the essence of the product 100% and although under great pressure time wise, the execution was on time and faultless. My stall at KAMERS Pretoria exceeded my expectations and was the perfect backdrop for my products. I owe Shannon some acknowledgement that my stall was awarded “Best Product Range’ - she helped them shine!
Tanja
Product Owner, ecx.io
"Shannon is unlike any Creative Director
I have previously worked with. She is consistently committed to higher-level, strategic thinking when approaching
all creative work and always factors in
the clients' objectives.
"Passion, commitment and empathy are all words I would use to describe Shannon. She is a fantastic line manager to her team and she is personally invested in their growth.
Quality and user experience are big themes for her and I've seen her consistently apply these checks and practices to simple and complex work delivered across the agency."
Kerry
Digital Creative Director, DDB
"Shannon is a rare breed and she will
be an inspirational key player in
any agency or business."
"Shannon is an exceptionally talented hybrid Creative Director who has been managing the entire Isobar Cape Town office and producing a range of digital and creative projects. This has honed her skills to include digital design, UX, strategy, social media, concept and very strong leadership skills.She has a natural ability to make order out of chaos with an unwavering commitment to getting the job done on time and always manages to see beyond the brief, and offer a strategically sound longer view."
Andrew
Creative Director, Tall Shaw
"Her design is exceptional,
being always informed by the
user experience first."
"Shannon was a super find and proved herself a valuable creative asset over
the years that I worked with her. Her design is also exceptional, being always informed by the user experience first.
I would definitely recommend her if
you're looking for a hard worker,
solid designer & creative that will fit comfortably into any studio
environment."
Nicole
Managing Partner, Ogilvy
"Shannon is a brilliant designer whose creativity goes beyond the realms of just design. She is a talented leader and an all round great person with a great attitude."
"Shannon is one of the rare breed of designers that invests time in not
only growing her team but in truly understanding, distilling and delivering
on the clients needs. Shannon works exceptionally well with strategists and client service to ensure that the brief
is perfect and the delivery to the client beyond expectation. Her strategic
thinking sets her apart and her collaborative, tireless pursuit for the perfect brief has taught us all to dig a
little deeper and try a little harder.
The results speak for themselves!
