Hi, I’m Shannon Lee, a San Jose-based graphic designer and illustrator who works across print and digital media for a variety of clients. I enjoy turning ideas into compelling visuals—drawing original illustrations, designing posters, postcards, stickers, apparel graphics, and other assets that align with brand identity and connect with audiences. I collaborate closely with clients to translate concepts into polished, print-ready and digital-ready work. A recent highlight was designing a featured T-shirt graphic for Nature Backs, a lifestyle brand with a national following. I take pride in delivering original artwork and merch-ready designs for a range of clients, from apparel brands to small businesses and individual commissions, and I love helping brands tell their stories through visuals.
