A lot of everything.

I was a mere child when Jerry Seinfeld flew over Cannes in a bee suit to promote The Bee Movie. It was then that I knew becoming a sicko who came up with such ideas was the path for me. Against the mold and downright deranged has always been my taste.

Here’s a few quotes from some of my past mentors:

“You’re an Art Director+”

“Shaylee is a Swiss Army knife in advertising”

“Why are you still in my office?”

My ever-expanding skillset comes from a life of culture shocks and hobby hopping. While many see it through a master of none lens, I challenge that. I’m passionately and dumbfoundedly curious, or whatever Einstein said.

At 25 I’ve experienced more than most, driving me to keep bringing my memories to the creative kids table. From growing up in trailer parks to singing in a hispanic church choir for a couple years to that one time I made Kieran Culkin smirk, I have a bouquet of stories to pick inspiration from.

In my other life you can find me on a wikipedia deep dive, doing my biweekly Fortnite update, or defending Kevin Smith’s honor. Otherwise I’ll be rummaging around in my hobby bag.
