What People Say About Working with Me
During my time at HubSpot and IBM, I've been incredibly lucky to work with brilliant people. From fast-moving startups to global brands, the best outcomes always come from genuine collaboration. Here's what product leaders and teammates have to say about the experience we shared working together.
Shannon has emerged as a powerful force on the Trellis UX team. We could not have gotten the tokenization migration across the finish line without her efforts. Shannon has a thorough knowledge of the design token system and how it is applied to all of our Foundations components. Shannon was instrumental in supporting engineering during the Trellis VQA project, tirelessly researching, and answering hundreds of questions as well as pairing with engineers in office hours sessions.
Shannon is also a trusted source of design knowledge and best-practices for Trellis engineers. She was a driver of the focus styling accessibility improvements made to Foundations components that will improve the usability of our products.

From day one, Shannon has been an absolute force on the Design Systems team. She quickly ramped up, bringing valuable experience and insight from the broader product org. She was an active contributor to the visionary prototypes with our agency partners, regularly advocating for accessibility and UX best practices as we modernized the visual language.
Shannon was a key driver in starting Trellis Ambassadors, building the Transitional Component Library, and designer enablement which significantly advanced our 250+ UX org's consistency and scalability. Her testing and demonstrations of the Token Library influenced its structure and the success of cross-functional teams using the system effectively. As her teammate, I've deeply appreciated Shannon's persistent initiative, attention to detail, and ability to ask tough questions and poke holes in things to push for the quality of our work and the HubSpot platform.

Shannon is one of the strongest UX designers on our team. She continuously demonstrates a depth of curiosity and holistic understanding of our work, with well reasoned, researched, and scalable solutions. She always thinks about impact upon our users and the complementary parts of the product. Shannon’s strong, creative UX prowess, coupled with her visual design chops, afford her the unique ability to capitalize on our GM's mandate to deliver “the consumerization of IT”.
One of her many superpowers is definitely her ability to think end-to-end. She never designs in a silo but instead is always looking across the entire experience. All the designers on the team look to her for guidance. Her ability to think through new solutions and rapidly white board new ideas is outstanding.

Shannon brings a rare blend of system-thinking and deep product context—making her an essential connector between our design system and the product teams that depend on it.
Her leadership in modernizing one of the most complex components in our system—the data grid—stands out as a model of cross-functional collaboration. She aligned a wide range of partners, navigated constraints, and never lost sight of usability or accessibility. The result wasn’t just an improved component, but a clear pathway for modernizing one of the most common and critical surfaces in our product. Her influence can already be seen in upcoming improvements to our indexes.
Beyond systems and components, Shannon has been a driving force behind the Trellis community. Through better documentation, targeted training, thoughtful support, and peer enablement, she’s empowered designers across the org to confidently adopt and extend the design system. That kind of foundational work ensures our system isn’t just functional—it’s scalable and sustainable. She is a force multiplier and exactly the kind of leader needed for this next phase of modernization.

Former HubSpot, Principal Product Designer Design Systems
Shannon is an exceptional product designer who demonstrates strategic thinking and keen attention to detail. I had the opportunity to collaborate closely with Shannon across multiple cross-functional projects when she was supporting the DataSets team and I was supporting the Report Builder team. It was extremely important that our two teams were aligned and in sync, especially as we were part of two different product groups.
Shannon approached every project with thoughtfulness and clarity. She proactively identified gaps, brought stakeholders together, and ensured that we were solving for the customer with the most optimal UX experience. Her collaborative spirit made our shared projects more efficient and rewarding.
