Shannon McCarthy

Assistant Professor

Eastern Kentucky University

Richmond

Shannon McCarthy has been a design educator since 2013 after completing her MFA at Minneapolis Collage of Art and Design. Since then she has had the pleasure at teaching at several universities, enjoying and soaking up the local culture of South Dakota, West Virginia and now Kentucky. Her work focuses in several varied avenues but experimentation and research are consistent in every piece. Her main research, outside of teaching and client work, is No AWAY: An Awareness Campaign about Plastic Consumption, where she works with youths and helps them become proactive about the issue. When not designing you can find Shannon reading, enjoying a new trail, or snuggling her two cats, Sans and Serif.
