Hello, I'm Shalana.
I'm a passionate designer, writer, and educator dedicated to bridging the gap between learning and creativity. Hailing from a small town background, I believe in approaching people with genuine respect and kindness. My hope is to meet people exactly where they are in life while helping them to grow in their skills with a positive attitude.
Exploration fuels my soul, and alongside my husband and daughter, I've traveled to over 30 national parks and monuments across the USA. Whether it's camping under the stars, biking along scenic trails, or hiking in our local nature areas, embracing the great outdoors and discovering new venues is a cornerstone of my life.
For the past five years, I have called Sheboygan, Wisconsin, home and find peace in moments spent biking and hiking along the shores of Lake Michigan. I also adore cozying up with a mug of coffee on my the couch while watching the snow fall outside. Whether I'm feeling the fresh breeze by the lake or watching the snowflakes from my window, the spark of creativity is always present here.
With over a decade of combined experience in instruction and visual design, complemented by a B.F.A. in Graphic Design and an M.Ed. in Instructional Technology, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table. My journey as a published author of instructional material for esteemed books and magazines has further enriched my skill set. Always eager to take on new endeavors, I recently began mastering video creation and editing techniques, and I'm enthusiastically exploring the cutting-edge AI features of the Adobe Creative Cloud adding to my expertise of Illustrator and Photoshop.
Creativity is my forte, coupled with a knack for effective communication and a flair for technology. Let's chat and explore how I can channel this passion into crafting innovative solutions tailored to your needs.
