Storytelling through branding and design

Shannon Magrane is a freelance graphic designer based in Southern Maine who loves creating engaging, layered designs that bring stories to life. With a passion for arts, culture and problem-solving, she works closely with clients to craft authentic and timeless designs. Whether it’s a brand identity, website or content design, Shannon believes good design should be consistent, compelling and make your competitors wonder if they should just pack it up and go home.

How are you telling your story?

With 94% of people forming their first impression of a company based on design, your brand’s visual identity isn’t just nice to have—it’s your first handshake, elevator pitch and mic-drop moment all in one. I help small businesses, entrepreneurs and politicians capture attention and build trust through thoughtful, high-quality design that tells their unique story and actually sticks with their audience.

I’m Shannon Magrane, a creative who believes design should feel like a great story—one you actually want to hear, not just nod along to.

Inspired by the beauty of Maine and a love for Irish folklore, my designs are bold, vibrant and built to last (just like a well-loved sweater or a stubborn old oak tree). I help clients bring their stories to life with a blend of modern aesthetics and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Together, we’ll craft a brand that feels like home—authentic and connected to the world around us.
