WORDS OF PRAISE
"SHIANNE DOESN'T FLINCH. Talk about "grace under fire" and teamwork and all of that — I've had the privilege of watching Shianne in action at Cohesity for the past year.... If you are ever lucky enough to work with her, you'll note how she stays smooth and steady through fire storm after fire storm.... always, design is flawless, executed to perfection with clever finesse and superhuman speed. She has grace, empathy and patience for our customers (colleagues); she reprioritizes quickly, meets the need, pivots on a beat. She. Does. Not. Flinch.
In fact, she uses her brilliance to make others shine. That's why dozens of our colleagues have gone out of their way to pause to say "thank you", recognizing at the company-level the impact she's had on their efforts. That's why she is referred to as a "powerhouse"; her thoughtful creative approach has ensured successful initiatives, launches, campaigns, and design award wins for Cohesity.
Her passion and gift as a designer are evident. I've wondered if Shianne's grit and finely tuned soft skills are due to her past time as an avid adventurer: rock climbing, backpacking, scaling 14ers, etc. Of course she doesn't flinch. She's a rock; she's an anchor; if your team has a mountain to scale, I'd HIGHLY recommend Shianne for the expedition."
- Janmarie Wright, Digital Creative Director, Cohesity
"Shianne is a wizard-like designer with amazing attention to detail. She's thoughtful, creative, always mindful of brand, and quick to offer creative solutions that delight her stakeholders. Her passion for design is clear from concept to execution, and she always delivers exceptional creative. On top of that she has a refreshing attitude - she is great at taking feedback and is always the first to jump in when the team is swamped. She consistently delivers gorgeous visuals that elevate the Cohesity brand while engaging our audience. I highly recommend Shianne and know she will be an asset to any organization (I hope I get to work with her again!)"
- Jackie Sandoval, VP of Corporate Marketing, Cohesity
"I had the pleasure of working alongside Shianne during our time together at Cohesity as part of the design team, and I can confidently say she is an absolute powerhouse of creativity and collaboration. Shianne consistently brought fresh, innovative ideas to the table, elevating every project she touched.
Her positive attitude and helpful nature made her an invaluable teammate. We often bounced ideas off each other, and her feedback was always thoughtful and insightful. Her enthusiasm and energy were contagious, making even the most challenging projects enjoyable.
I genuinely wish we had more time to work together. Any team would be incredibly lucky to have Shianne onboard—she’s a creative force and a joy to collaborate with."
- Emily Morrow, Senior Digital Designer, Cohesity
"Shianne is exactly the kind of designer you want on your team. When a design ticket comes in, she's the first to step in and say, "I'll take it." Then she puts her head down and gets to work. She's collaborative, a stakeholder favorite, and has a keen and creative eye. Importantly, she also produces beautiful work and requires no handholding. I was fortunate to collaborate with Shianne on numerous projects in our 2.5 years working together, and her skills in designing soup-to-nuts marketing materials speak for themselves."
- Cheryl Sternman-Rule, Senior Manager of Content Marketing, Cohesity
"Shianne is steady and unflappable—ideal qualities in any teammate. She’s also a GREAT designer, overflowing with creative ideas.
Tight deadline? No problem.
Outlandish request? Sure.
Can it look great? Obviously.
Shianne can do it all, with skill and grace. She’ll be a great addition to any team lucky enough to have her."
- Clifden Kennedy, Editor in Chief/Senior Editor, Cohesity
WORDS OF PRAISE
"Shianne, you have stepped up this quarter in a time of extreme change. You have remained positive, have delivered excellent creative work, and always do so with the highest level of integrity. On top of that you have been experimenting with making our creative bold so that our brand can be modern and vibrant...your recent "What is..." designs have made our social engagement rise to 6% (a new record!)."
- Jackie Sandoval, VP of Corporate Marketing, Cohesity
"Shianne is a beloved rockstar on our team, and though I've only been her manager for 5 months it was clear to me very quickly on the "why" behind the sentiment. She has quite a few super powers under her belt that differentiate her and make her an invaluable designer to an in-house team. She is an incredible speed-machine with turnaround time. She takes smart approaches as a team graphic designer who sets up templates and workflows ahead of time knowing that we will need them again.
Additionally I've been impressed with her grace and patience for projects and stakeholders that require extra care and empathy to get projects over the starting line. I watched her continue a project from late 2023 whose requirements kept moving, shifting, etc - it kept changing through May of 2024! Many designers would lose composure or hold grudges against the team/stakeholders during a project like this. But Shianne stays calm, composed, and hears them out on every step and shift of this process. Her ability to stay flexible and nimble will serve us very well in the future where there are unknowns, fast turnarounds and new stakeholders."
