I'm Shane.

Some would say I’m pretty good at pushing pixels and pressing buttons.

Graphic designer who has found that designing is the only field of "work" that does not feel like work. It brings me genuine joy and happiness to be able to make quality designs for others to see. I hold a lot of pride in my work, and aim to make each design better than the next.

Since 2020, I have been basking in everything design related at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA, and graduated Magna Cum Laude receiving a B.F.A. in Graphic Design, May 2024.

When not designing, you can either find me competing in fighting game tournaments (specifically the Street Fighter and Tekken series), grooving on my Fender Player Series Jazz Bass, or pushing iron at the gym.
