Shannon is a Marketing & Creative Director and Founder of The Keen Machine, A Long Beach, CA based creative agency. Shannon is passionate about efficiency and has an all-encompassing understanding of the “big picture,” which she uses to fosters her drive and commitment to each business she serves. Shannon loves to provide skilled and intelligent insight into what “is” and what “could be” and hopes to one day rule the world… with her dry wit and sometimes odd sense of humor… Even if it is just her own little world.
Having spent her career listening and learning from the top tier of the corporate world, Shannon wanted to make an impact on a larger scale with her clear and concise understanding of the development process, she garners her experience as a Marketing executive with her design prowess and creates masterful and influential projects both as a leader and as a team member in the trenches.
On the flip side, Shannon has spent her life working to better the lives of those around her. At the ripe-old age of 16, in the height of teenage pregnancy in 1991, Shannon became a statistic and had her daughter, forever changing her (limited) understanding of the world around her. She graduated high school in 1993 and with her 2 year old daughter in tow, set off into the world. Fast forward to today, Shannon has an A.A. in Fashion Design, a B.S. in Marketing and over 15 years of graphic design experience. Her daughter is a Sophomore in College and building her own foundation for the rest of her life.
Marking her daughters accomplishments and newly achieved status as “adult,” Shannon decided the timing was right to venture out of the corporate world and pave a path of her own. Along came The Keen Machine… Established in January of 2010, The Keen Machine has steadily been growing it’s client base and forever improving the expectations of her clients by being a single resource for Marketing, Design, Print and Web. Convenience and quality is the name of the game and Shannon is an avid fan of the sport “extreme CRM.”
