about the artist
"Sharp, Spirited and talented beyond measure, Creative Director, Shanna Eden, has been wowing us with her standout designs and innovative graphics for over fifteen years. Each piece is more impressive than the previous, yet her creativity isn't her only great gift. Shanna is also a strategic thinker, meticulously organized, deadline driven and a team player you can count on for anything, as many of her clients can attest.'
Communal involvement is also in her blood by actively volunteering for various organizations since she was a teenager, teaching art classes to children, reading to kids at the local library. It has been instilled in her at a young age to give back to the community any way she could. She says, "It is my ultimate goal to utilize my graphic design and art as a 'visual voice' for those who may not be heard otherwise...perhaps awakening something within people that makes them care about the plight of others. I knew I wanted to pursue art since I was a kid (probably since birth), and also that I wanted to change the world for the better."
Her career began as a Graphic Designer at Florida Atlantic University, her alma mater, where she graduated magna cum laude. She is currently a ten time ADDY award winner as Associate Vice President of Marketing & Communications at the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County.
