MY NAME IS SHELBY

AND I LOVE PROBLEMS.

I got well acquainted with problems during art school. How do I communicate an idea visually? What sort of art gets people excited? How do I build a metal sculpture taller than me with no money? Answer: Dumpster Diving.

 

Being able to link a specific business problem with smart, strategic, beautiful creative is why I love advertising. Perfect example: how do we get the people who actually buy a guy’s body wash (their wives and girlfriends) to buy Old Spice? Answer: Isaiah Mustafa on a horse. 

 

Solving business problems with a tight insight and great visuals is what makes both halves of my brain happy.
