I’m Shawnna Gallagher—a strategic designer who’s equal parts creative thinker and deadline hitter. I specialize in making fast-turn work for healthcare and enterprise brands feel intentional, cohesive, and just the right amount of bold.

I don’t just make things pretty—I dress them for success.
I design B2B marketing materials that do more than sit there looking good. Whether it’s a sales deck, a lead-gen email, or a data-heavy infographic, I make sure every piece pulls its weight. I turn complex info and strict brand rules into clear, engaging visuals that connect and convert. Fast turn? Tight deadlines? Multiple stakeholders? I’m used to it—and I still find a way to make it look effortless.


Case Studies

Designed comprehensive print & digital collateral for Behavioral Health Business’s Autism Investor Summit, unifying event branding and boosting attendee engagement.

Created survey eBook—with custom Chartwell-font data visualizations—and built the lead-generation landing page and cross-channel email/social marketing, driving a significant uptick in qualified download conversions.

Led the end-to-end redesign and annual management of the Senior Housing News awards site using Figma—earning a DotComm Gold Award in 2023 and boosting entries by 25% year-over-year

Conceptualized and produced the Executives to Watch series—developing bespoke eBooks, landing pages, and weekly social features—that elevated sponsor visibility and generated targeted leads across multiple healthcare verticals.


I'm a designer with an artistic soul and a passion for creative problem-solving. With two decades of experience in digital development, branding, layout design, and project management, I bring a strategic mindset, a sharp eye for detail, and an enthusiasm for learning that keeps my skills evolving. My wide-ranging expertise enables me to be adaptable across multiple areas of marketing and design.

On a personal note, I’m a nature-lover and a longtime Midwesterner. After growing up in southern Ohio, I spent time in San Francisco before landing in Chicago, where I’ve lived for the past 18 years. These days, I live just outside the city on a scenic farm property—an ideal setting for my creative energy and love of photography.

Professionally, I’ve worked remotely for a total of eight years, though hybrid flexibility has always been part of my career. I am an independent, self-motivated thinker who thrives in off-site roles, but I equally value collaboration, whether leading a team or contributing as a team member. The shift to remote work has shown that we can stay connected and creative from anywhere, and for me, it’s the perfect balance.
