About

Hi there! I’m Shawnah Hays, a multidisciplinary designer and ceramic artist based in New Orleans. I help brands stand out with packaging, branding, logos, and creative visuals, while also crafting one-of-a-kind ceramics to sell. I love blending print, digital, and tactile craft to tell compelling brand stories.

Currently I run Shawna Hays Creative remotely, working with a diverse mix of clients—from craft brewers to home decor brands—bringing 7+ years of graphic design experience, startup studio know-how, and hands-on production across lab, brewery, and workshop environments.
