Long ago, I drove to NYC from Ohio for a job interview that would change everything.

Hi, I am Shawn (she/her). I am a UX Designer and artist with a 20 year career in fashion design, bringing years of collaboration and product management experience. 

As a consummate explorer, I aim to research and empathize with my customer base, looking for the kernels of great design stories to their intriguing UX problems. 

As a self-taught fashion designer, I immersed myself in the process and life cycle of products, developing my skills as a junior, teaching me the value of a team approach to problem-solving. Throughout my career, I have successfully launched multiple collections for various brands, catering to different age ranges, notably, launching Levis Kid’s underwear lines which generated 1 million in their first season. 

I also freelance on graphic and social design projects, recently creating an AR 3d animation filter for Hot 97/Smirnoff for the 2023 SummerJam festival.

Art and performance are my passion. I have showcased my work in several group and solo shows. In 2015-2017, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Coco Dolle to produce Legacy Fatale, a performance group covered in social and press. I enjoy how performance allows the audience to become a part of the process which alters the performance.
