Who is shenell m?
Hi, I’m an Art Director who finds creativity in community. Growing up in the Bronx, NY, I was shaped by the energy, hustle, and shared stories of the people around me — and that spirit continues to influence how I design and collaborate. I’ve worked on projects for brands like Nestlé, Mazda, and John Deere, creating everything from social campaigns to print pieces and animations. Whether I’m concepting a big idea or fine-tuning the details, I focus on work that connects, communicates, and reflects the communities it’s meant to reach. For me, design is a way to build relationships, tell meaningful stories, and create impact together.
