Shawn is our sizzle. Seriously. Easy on the eyes and tough on crime, he’s got a lot going on. As a kid, Shawn wanted Legos and Tinker Toys the way most kids want a puppy. He loved the nuts and bolts of things, the way they went together, and how they could all work in harmony. It’s no surprise that he developed an early appreciation for the balance of form and function.
In the grand old year of 1987, he left the comforts of his Lincoln Logs behind and headed off to study architecture at Atlanta’s Southern Polytechnic where he divided his time between drafting and running the college radio station. After working for nearly three years at Spitzmiller & Norris, a high-end residential architecture firm, he was ultimately recruited to the world of music for the keen ear and market sensitivity he had cultured in himself. He spent over a decade as a music industry executive, working in marketing, promotion, and as a talent scout, but his love for architecture never subsided, and he began reconnecting with his first passion through photography. Then, in 2002, Shawn teamed up with architect Scott Ball and students at Southern Polytechnic to design and build a residential case study in Atlanta’s McDonough/Guice neighborhood. The house, an unapologetically modern contribution to inventive urban infill, landed him on the cover of Dwell magazine.
As Vignette’s branding guru, Shawn’s biggest skill is being the go-to guy for image. Think of him as the creative director for your soul. His knowledge of architecture, urban planning, interiors, and graphics is an interdiscipliary winning combination for flawlessly cohesive style. Whether you are one person or a multinational corporation, Shawn knows how to figure out what it is you want to say AND how to create a whole world around that statement. He even wears hip glasses.
When he’s off the clock, Shawn loves breaking out his camera. In addition, he enjoys a little Makers Mark, a lot of snark, and a heaping helping of tweaking out his Tommaso road bike. He also has a crush on Emilie.
