Hi I'm Shannon Whitelock
I graduated from Winchester school of art in 2020 where I received a 2:1 BA Hons degree in Graphic Arts where I specialised in Illustration, logo design and typography. I am a fun upbeat person looking for a new challenge in the design world. My work usually consisted of empowering people and their body and also character design while exploring different narratives with different mediums such as textiles work, mixed media and digital illustrations.
