Designer, illustrator, and educator Shannon reflects her own personal experiences and transforms them into colorful storytelling. Her debut children’s book, Some Days Feel Stormy, published in 2022, centers on BIG emotions and how to work with and through tough times by finding your happy thoughts.

An Associate Professor of Graphic Design at Eastern Kentucky University, Shannon completed her MFA at Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2013. Shannon is a 90’s kid who designs with an artistic heart. When she isn’t creating you can find her walking a trail, snuggling her cats, Sans and Serif, her nose deep in a book, or learning German and Spanish.
