My Name is Shane F. Massey Jr
I was born and raised in Lewes, Delaware, a quiet coastal town in the nation’s second-smallest state, but with a family and spirit larger than life. Shoutout to my mom, who always pushed me to dream big, even when we hadn’t seen much beyond our own backyard. I'm the oldest of three, a proud big brother to two sisters, and someone often called an old soul. I grew up in church pews and gospel harmonies, with a soundtrack of Motown R&B and the kind of patience only a small town can teach you.
Sports weren’t my passion, but I could run. I was nationally ranked in multiple track and field events, and that hustle earned me a full scholarship to Bowie State University, Maryland’s first HBCU. That’s where I found design, a lane that let me blend creativity, storytelling, and purpose in a way that felt natural and fulfilling.
Since earning my B.S. in Advertising Design, I’ve created work for brands like Disney, BET, and Corona, and collaborated with agencies across the spectrum from major studios to independent teams. My projects have spanned logos, pitch decks, social campaigns, packaging, and more. More than any single piece of work, it’s the journey that has shaped me. From Maryland to DC, New York to California, and now Florida, each move has been a testament to my flexibility, my drive to grow, and my openness to new ideas and environments.
Long term, I want to find a space that aligns with my perspective. I’m looking to be surrounded by creatives who are eager to learn, open to adapting, and grounded enough to embrace change. I hope to eventually teach in some capacity, whether that’s as a professor or as a creative director guiding teams and mentoring the next generation of designers.
