Shana Hackman

Graphic Designer & Illustrator

I am a junior / midweight graphic designer currently based in London. I’ve been working as a freelance designer for the last year whilst I travelled but I am now looking for a more permanent role that I can really sink my teeth into. 

I graduated with a (BA Hons) Graphic & Media Design degree from London College of Communication, UAL. After interning at Studio Xag, I went on to design at an events agency - Strata Creative Communications, where I worked for nearly two years. 

​

I used to balance my job with creative side projects as well as trips to different countries as often as I could. I eventually decided to take a year out to travel around south east Asia. I picked up a couple of design jobs, however my main priority was experiencing as much as I could while I was out there. I also live broadcasted my travels on my Twitch channel where I have developed an involved and active community of supporters and viewers.

​

My creative a approach - no matter the project - is to dissect the message that we are trying to get across and the impression that it will leave. I like to create several different approaches before settling on one to find the right balance between designer and client.
