Hi!
I’m Shelby Marie Vaughn. Thank you for visiting my digital portfolio. I spent 4 years in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia learning from and collaborating with some of the most innovative artists in the nation. Just as the field of creative media is multifaceted, I believe my experience should be too. In December 2020, I graduated from Georgia State University with a Bachelor’s of Interdisciplinary Studies that encompasses art, design, and immersive technology.
I entered the workforce in a time when full time jobs were scarce due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After graduation, I found work through internships, contracts, and freelancing. In March of 2021, with the mentorship of Mrs. Maxine Cain of STEM Atlanta, I founded The Shelby Marie Studio. I offer illustration, graphic design, and animation services. Additionally, I write and draw stories to inspire children of color who are drastically underrepresented in children’s books. Two of my greatest inspirations include Vashti Harrison and Anoosha Syed. Stay tuned to see what comes next from The Shelby Marie Studio!
