Hey! Iām Shayna
I'm a creative leader and multidisciplinary designer with 10+ years of experience bringing visual ideas to life across digital products, games, brands, and marketing.
My background spans art direction, visual development, illustration, compositing, motion, and brand design. I've spent much of my career in mobile gaming, where I've had the opportunity to contribute to hundreds of game experiences while developing a deep understanding of how strong creative work moves from an initial idea through production.
Today, I lead creative teams while staying closely connected to the work itself. I enjoy establishing visual direction, giving thoughtful critique, mentoring artists, and helping teams turn ambitious ideas into polished, cohesive work. I'm equally comfortable stepping into Photoshop or After Effects, developing a visual concept, or working across disciplines to solve a larger creative problem.
I'm also a builder by nature. Throughout my career, I've looked for ways to make creative work better, not only visually, but in how teams create it. That has included developing workflows and tools, improving production systems, creating shared resources, and finding smarter ways to remove friction from the creative process.
My approach to leadership is grounded in clarity, curiosity, and trust. I want artists to understand what we're trying to accomplish, feel comfortable contributing their own perspective, and have the support they need to grow. I believe the best creative teams balance high standards with an environment where people can experiment, ask questions, and enjoy making great work together.
Outside of work, I'm usually watching horror movies, playing games, gardening, working on something around my house, or hanging out with my husband and our pets.
Let's Work Together
I'm currently interested in creative leadership, art direction, and senior visual design opportunities where I can combine hands-on creative work with team leadership and help shape thoughtful, visually ambitious work.
If you're building a creative team or working on something that sounds like a good fit, I'd love to hear from you.
