Let's connect some dots.
Introduction
Leading global design teams, bringing clarity to the complex and ambiguous, connecting all the dots, & defining AI-native workflows
Oh hi, I'm Shannon. I currently lead a global team of designers at Adobe shaping Adobe Express into a modular, extensible creative platform and creating scalable new paradigms that extend Adobe's AI conversational experiences.
I thrive in ambiguous settings, turning complexity into clarity, whether that means architecting a cohesive platform across products, designing frictionless developer experiences, or guiding a team through a new era of our design careers.
I lead with empathy, inclusivity, and collaboration — helping my teams feel empowered, my partners and leadership feel supported, and our products feel effortless. My goal is to cultivate teams that are not only high-performing, but also resilient, creative, collaborative, and energized by the work we do together.
