Designer & Creative Director

Hi, I’m Shantal!

I turn stories into brands you can actually feel.

With a background in interior design and filmmaking, I don’t just design how things look; I design how they feel, function, and connect. Whether I’m building a visual identity or art directing a photoshoot, I start with what matters most: your story.

What I Do (Besides Making Things Look Good)

I help founders, marketers, and creative teams build brands that stand for something, and look good doing it.

Think: strategy-meets-style, visuals with a purpose, and systems that scale.

Some things I’m known for:

  • Making abstract ideas make sense, and look beautiful

  • Crafting brands that feel premium, personal, and intentional

  • Designing systems that translate across packaging, social, and digital

  • Collaborating with teams and founders who want clarity and good design

  • Bringing creative direction grounded in lasting storytelling

How I Got Here

I hold a B.F.A. in Interior and Furniture Design from SCAD and a B.F.A. in Filmmaking from the New York Film Academy. I’ve worked across disciplines, from product development at high-end studios to retail interior design, packaging, and brand building for startups. Today, I bring all of that into every project I touch.

Why It Works

My work is multidisciplinary, but my approach is focused:

Story first. Always.

Whether you’re launching something new or refining what you’ve got, I help shape brands that feel like home and work like a well-oiled machine.

My Philosophy

“Every brand has a deeper narrative, a reason, a feeling, a truth. I help brands uncover their essence and express it through intentional design systems that don’t just look beautiful, they communicate, connect, and endure.”
