Instead of going to preschool like most kids, Shanna spent her formative years at her family’s kitchen table splattered with paint and glue. Though Shanna doesn’t remember exactly what she created, she does remember how: with abandon, confidence, curiosity, and ambition.Now a Director of Design at JDI, Shanna seeks to constantly surprise clients and audiences. Using her eclectic background in psychology, theater, and art, she aspires to immerse people in unexpected experiences, creating intricate worlds just as fluently as her design work communicates complex ideas. Shanna’s work often bridges design, marketing, and paid media, allowing her to flex her multimodal creativity into everything from copywriting and naming to event development, photography, and experiential storytelling. After hours, you can find Shanna writing custom poems for strangers (and sometimes friends) on a 1928 Remington Portable II typewriter with Typewriter Rodeo, on the track or trail training for her next marathon (or ultra), taking thrifting a little too seriously, or sometimes still covered in paint and glue at the kitchen table.
