The best stories captivates our interest, connect us to others and teach us something about who we want to be. My name is Shannon Sanders and I am a freelance graphic designer and visual storyteller. Working independently or collaboratively, I can manage your project from concept to finished-product for print and digital media. 

Once upon a time, before there were computers in every home, I began my career at a family-run printing company where I cut-and-pasted with an x-acto blade, a t-square and a wax roller. After earning my BFA in Illustration at Syracuse University, I moved to San Francisco and studied typography and graphic design at Academy of Art College. I landed a job as a graphic designer at a marketing firm where my extensive knowledge of the print industry complemented the more creative side of designing.

Today I live in Austin, Texas with my husband. I love playful and clean design. When I come across a clever design in everyday life, I often stop whatever I’m doing and take a picture for my “Inspiration” album on my phone. 

My favorite projects include logo and branding design, the development of marketing materials and web-based storytelling. Experience (and having raised three daughters) has taught me to be a great listener. I am able to see projects holistically and problem-solve with innovative results. I enjoy collaborating with others, I'm detail-oriented and work well with deadlines. Like my clients, I have high expectations for my work and take great pride in the final product. I’d love to put my skills to use for you and help you tell your story.
