A bit more about me

Hi, I’m Shannara!

With a Bachelor of Design Computing from the University of Sydney, I bring a solid foundation in both traditional and digital design, underpinned by a strong understanding of user-centred thinking. My expertise spans graphic design, web development, and user experience, enabling me to deliver solutions that are as functional as they are visually engaging.

I approach every project with strategic intent and a strong sense of visual storytelling — whether it’s crafting a clear user journey, building a brand identity, or designing intuitive interfaces.

In my role as a Digital Designer, I’ve created signage, infographics, and internal presentations; applied UX methodologies to process improvement (Lean) projects at StarTrack; and produced end-to-end safety and compliance videos, from filming to post-production.

Skills

Specialising in graphic design and web design, with experience in branding and user experience, I bring a well-rounded approach to each project. I focus on creating cohesive, visually compelling solutions that are tailored to meet both aesthetic and functional needs.

I bring ideas to life with visually compelling designs that resonate with audiences. From digital graphics to print materials, I craft designs that capture attention and communicate effectively, always staying true to the brand’s voice.
