Shawn Sheehan

Lead Motion Designer, Illustrator

Warren, MI, USA
I am an illustrator by nature who has learned to branch out into other areas of the visual arts medium, such as automotive photographic/CGI retouching, graphic design, digital layout, motion design and interactive for the web. As a team leader and manager, I have been responsible for the design and execution of various projects and campaigns 
from the beginning to the end of the production pipeline.

I have worked on automotive and non-automotive concept ideation as well. I have actively worked in the visual arts medium in southeast Michigan for almost 20 years.

I am a full-time Creative Generalist/Lead Motion Designer with The Quintek Group, as well as a part-time teacher and freelancer. I teach Digital Art courses at Macomb Community College at the South Campus location in Warren, Michigan.

Overall, I enjoy what I do very much, and strive to constantly better myself through experience and practice. I am at my best when working with individuals who share 
the same passion and commitment to creating quality art, in whatever form.
