Shannon discovers.
She discovers new places, new experiences, new recipes. But most of all, she discovers new skills.
After earning a BA in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder, she taught English in Southeast Asia. Then, she unearthed a passion for leveraging technology to educate, connect, and create opportunities as part of the Duolingo English Test team.
When she returned to the U.S.—with a Vietnamese-born kitty cat named Patchy—she found her way into UI/UX design. She put her broad skills in research, web design, and graphic design to work with start-ups, nonprofits, app developers, and small businesses to elevate their digital presence.
As a Visual Designer at Mighty Citizen, she works on everything from social media posts to web design to design systems and libraries. Through it all, she discovers new ways to pair beautiful design with thoughtful strategy.
When she’s not tinkering with client work at her desk, you can find her on a yoga mat, in the great outdoors, or adding a new medium to her creative pursuits.
