"Shelby stands out as one of the most passionate, creative, and thoughtful leaders I’ve had the privilege to work with in my design career. Early on, she challenged me to think more critically and conceptually, guiding me to develop clear concepts that seamlessly translate across multiple touchpoints. Her dedication to her team is unparalleled, as she tailors her approach to align closely with each individual's motivations."Benten Woodring"Shelby is a fiercely passionate creative who consistently advocates for her team and her clients. I was continuously impressed by her ability transform strategy and insights into creative that pushed boundaries and WORKED. Throughout our time together, she worked closely with me develop my skills in branding, production and conceptual thinking. She has had a large impact on my career trajectory and success in the field. She is in a league of her own and is crucial part of our design community."Megan Collins Shinn"Shelby's an expert plate spinner and she makes it look effortless. She consistently pushed the creative output of our team to be the best it could be, while handling loads of behind-the-scenes details that freed us up to focus and succeed."Rachel Kampen"Shelby embodies the soul of any company she represents. A strong brand advocate. You can put her on a stage or on the phone and she will sell the heck out of it. She's always my go-to when I need a sounding board or help pulling something innovative off for the agency. She wants us to succeed."Zach Loes"Shelby builds bridges. Between creative teams and account teams. Between the data heads and the exploratory minds. Between senior leadership and interns. She understands that the work is stronger when everybody is bought into what they're doing.
I’ve learned so much about how to creative direct from Shelby. She directs by way of questions, by way of helping you arrive at an answer – AN answer not THE answer because most of the time she knows there is more than one way to do it — and if the person she’s directing brings their own thoughts to it, then they’ll grow and have more passion for it."Chris Jardieu
