I am Shirley_
A CRAFTER OF EXPERIENCES.
Let's create something that matters, together_
In 2OO9, I discovered the world of dolls.
I wasn’t as interested in playing with them as much as I was in creating their environments.
That play led me to earn a BFA in Interior Design from SCAD in 2O18. Here I immersed myself in spatial thinking and creative exploration.
Loved every minute of it.
In 2O2O, I realized I wanted a more expressive outlet and discovered Experiential Design: the art and science of shaping moments, emotions, and stories.
I then pursued a PG in Art Direction and Design at Miami Ad School, graduating in 2O22
By 2O25, I honed my craft into creating impactful experiences where storytelling, technology, and human-centered design come together seamlessly.
Today, still growing. Always learning and evolving.
"Her mind is a perfect blend of methodical strategic thinking alongside a world-class creative imagination. She'll surprise you with her quiet and observative thinking, but rest assured, when she's ready to share, you'll get nothing less than a creative solution that embodies her intellect and mastery of creating experiences that tap into human emotions."

“If Shirley were an animal, she'd be a wise owl. Because she's smart. Has the knowledge, but she's quiet, and only shares her opinion when she has something important and brilliant to say. Her work and attitude is impressive.”

Vice-president CD Golin
“The process she follows to form emotional connections between brands and their audiences proves that she understands the essence of experiential marketing. Her great sketching and illustration skills help her bring ideas across and leads to great executions.”

me: Shirls!! Do you know how to create "cinemagraphs"?
s: I've never done one, but I can figure it out.
“Shirley surprised us positively with her 'can do' attitude. Write copy for social? Sure! Comps and mockups for a pitch? Claro! Research for films? Of course. New ideas? Si. Si. Si. She can do all. And always with a big smile and positive vibe that energizes our team.”

“She's basically like a dolphin - a hard-working dolphin that will craft some of the best work we've ever seen and bounce up the stage at the Palais to receive her 12th gold Lion of the night as she splashes the haters on the front rows with a spray of awesome exuberance and squeaks and trills at the audience.”
