Most recently, Shanee worked as an Interior Designer at a Sioux Falls design firm, where she gained experience in various project types, including hospitality, healthcare, education, industrial, and retail.
“We are excited for Shanee to be coming into the interior department. She will help fill a void that we were missing in our Sioux Falls Office.” – Elise Derby, Interior Designer
Shanee went into college as an exercise science major, but one art class changed everything. “I had a drawing class, and one of our assignments was to draw a perspective view somewhere in the building. My professor loved my drawing. It came really naturally to me, and I really enjoyed doing it.”
Her favorite part of interior design is getting to tell a story through color, texture, and finishings that convey the client’s vision. For those reasons, her favorite project type to work on is hospitality.
At EAPC, she is looking forward to working in sectors that she has less experience with, like healthcare and higher education. “I like the idea of getting to work on bigger projects. There will, of course, be a learning curve, but I’m excited.”
In her free time, Shanee likes to be outdoors. In the winter, she enjoys snowboarding, and in the summer, she likes to spend her time on the golf course. She played varsity golf in high school and was a cheerleader at SDSU.
