Hi, I’m Shanna, a Miami-based brand consultant and art director with a deep love for clarity, emotional resonance, and beautiful design.

I began my entrepreneurial career in 2009 as co-founder of vanillashake®, a concept-driven creative studio. After stepping away to focus on family, I’ve returned under my own name—bringing a refined lens, fresh perspective, and a collaborative, intuitive approach to branding.

I work closely with founders and storytellers to build brands that feel as good as they look, whether launching something new, evolving an existing identity, or creating expressive editorial systems.

I bring a generalist’s curiosity to every project, translating brand essence into stunning, human-centered design. My process blends emotional clarity, strategic thinking, and the thoughtful use of generative AI as a tool for discovery and iteration.

From Clarity to Identity

I collaborate with clients at different stages of their brand journey, whether launching something new, evolving an existing identity, or building editorial depth.

  • For founders with an existing brand ready for refinement.We begin with a Brand Assessment and move into the Clarity to Identity Method™, tightening what’s already working, refreshing what isn’t, and creating a more cohesive, elevated identity.

  • For founders launching something entirely new. We’ll build your brand from the ground up, starting with deep discovery and moving through the Clarity to Identity Method™, ending in a timeless, beautiful identity system you can grow with.

  • For brands who already have an identity and want to expand their creative ecosystem. We’ll extend your brand into thoughtful, expressive formats, bringing consistency, clarity, and beauty to your storytelling assets.
