Bio
Elizabeth Muthama, ACIM
I had the privilege of working closely with Shawn at a time when workplace dynamics had been shifted by the pandemic. With work from home, teamwork and empathy became even more important drivers of fun and quality work. Having Shawn as a lead designer on 2 FSI accounts that I led as an Account Manager, I faced tasks and campaigns with a little bit more confidence. Diligent with time allocated on tasks and projects and design skills that pushed the create envelope with every task - it was a delight developing and executing campaigns with him. Shawn is a determined person with a hunger to learn and grow, he inspired me to be a better planner and I am grateful to have called him my colleague then and friend to date.
