“Houston, we don’t have a problem”

Howdy, I’m Shannon. I’m hoping “howdy” will set me apart from the rest.

I’ve always loved telling stories and I’m endlessly curious about the world around me. With my stand-up comedy experience, I’m in constant search of human insights that connect us in funny and meaningful ways. My goal is to create ads my mom can email me about — because she loves to keep me updated on commercials that “catch her eye.” I’ve always been a big thinker and a passionate writer. I just know there’s an award-winning idea somewhere in my notes app. When I’m not copywriting, I’m most likely going on long walks (not on the beach, sigh), making tiramisu, or planning how I’ll one day win Survivor.

I’m a textbook extrovert (cringe). So I’d love to chat! shannonleahhouston@gmail.com
