About Shonezi

Hi! I'm Shonezi, a live fashion illustrator and visual storyteller who turns celebrations into art.

I create personalized fashion sketches at weddings, corporate events, and celebrations throughout Jacksonville and beyond. In real-time, guests watch their portraits come to life while capturing their style, personality, and the joy of the moment in a keepsake they'll treasure forever.

My journey into live illustration is rooted in over a decade of graphic design and branding experience. I've had the privilege of working with brands like Meta, Google, Fidelity Investments, Godiva, and Petco, along with emerging companies across fashion, wellness, and fintech. As the founder of Shonezi Designs, I've built visual identities, designed pitch decks, and created illustrations that connect deeply with audiences.

Now, I bring that same eye for detail, storytelling, and connection to live events. Whether I'm branding a business or sketching a bride, I'm a visual thinker and passionate maker who believes art is about what we feel, remember, and connect with and not just what we see.

With my iPad, sketchpad, and a love for capturing authentic moments, I help couples and brands create experiences that are bold, beautiful, and unforgettable.

Let's make your next event truly memorable.
