Creative Designer

 
 

Hello, I’m Shannon Simon

I have a passion for creating and expanding brand identification (logos, brand books, consistent marketing looks), marketing and advertising opportunities. My career goal is developing solutions that will help my clients succeed.

Introduction Video

Open To Work:

As social media marketing manager, I created videos of before/after transformations, captured behind the scene footage with GoPro & Cannon Rebel (T3i), created teasers and final unveiling videos, fun TikTok videos, educational tutorials & reviews for Youtube, designed and managed marketing campaigns with SEO's targeting our ideal demographics.

I loved being outside and working with a great team! Unfortunately, due to lack of paver laborers — I'm back on the quest for a new role. I would love to continue my career path in marketing for outdoor related industries because nature and being among it, is one of my strongest passions.

In addition to my bachelors in communication design and a minor in advertising, I also enjoy other aspects of the artistic world such as photographing, photo retouching, drawing, painting and crafting. In my spare time I create and sell personal artwork at local art fairs (ie: Cedarbug's Strawberry and Harvest festivals) and prints/ decors on Society6 (society6.com/swinkart).

My other hobbies include fun outdoor activities such as hiking at state & national parks, learning about nature and unique species, camping, kayaking, swimming and basking in the sun. I also enjoy jumping in colored leaves and sledding down snow covered hills.


What would I like to do
I enjoy the marketing/advertising aspects of my career, and would like to continue to create promotional prints, digital marketing media, advertisements, booth design, and website managing. I’m very good at managing and completing my tasks for deadlines.

If I could combine my hobbies with work — I would. I’m passionate about outdoor activities where I can spend time with nature, I used to play the electric bass guitar with a few friends and performed at low key venues in Milwaukee, and as I stated above — I love cooking. Cooking for me has always been about quality of taste and using fresh ingredients.

My work ethics
I enjoy getting involved with my work and there will always be obstacles that come up. When this happens, I am a positive bubble of “How can I solve this?” because complaining about what’s not working does not solve anything. I manage myself well and ask very specific questions to determine what it is that I need to do, and how to priorities my workload to achieve deadlines. I don’t mind personal life conversations at the office once it a while — I may come off a little standoffish at first — but based on circumstances of meetings and deadlines, I tend to keep these interactions short and jump to the task at hand.
