For these interviews, we pick people who add value to our community \u2013 in the blog, in the forums, in the projects. Plainly \u2013 activities that make crowdSPRING a better community. Be professional, treat others with respect, help us build something very special, and we\u2019ll take notice. We\u2019re very proud to feature Shannon Perry (crowdSPRING username: shancore) today. Shannon lives and works in Phenix, Virginia. 1. Please tell us about yourself. Hello, my name is Shannon Perry, also known as Shancore on crowdSPRING. I\u2019m a 27 year old freelance graphic designer. I recently just moved to Phenix, Virginia to be closer to my parents and family, with my boyfriend Russ, and our &#8220;little monster&#8221; pitbull Eddie. But before the big move, I had been living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the past 10 years. I attended Tyler School of Art at Temple University in 2001, hoping to major in Graphic Design, only to find out that I was more interested in printmaking. So I took up printmaking as a major instead with some fundamental design courses on the side.\u00a0 After several years of running circles around getting my BFA, and juggling a full time work and school schedule, I decided to take a break. I then landed a job as graphic designer at a small printing company, where I worked my last 2 years in South Philly. During this time is when I really started to get back into design. It wasn\u2019t until then, that I thought I could actually make a living doing graphic design as a freelance profession, and decided to move to Virginia and pursue a career in freelance design. 2. How did you become interested in art and design? Growing up with great parents. My dad is into computers and my mother is a crafter, so I got the best of both. I\u2019ve always been interested in art since I was kid and my parents are very supportive, always encouraging me and my art. They even let me start taking private art lessons with a local artist when I was in elementary school. Even at an early age, I decided that I wanted to be an artist and knew that no matter what I did, I would always be doing something creative."}
