Shawn Stewart | Brand Strategist
Shawn's creative journey has led him to work on everything from branding a new technology in the HVAC market to working with the former marketing director of Tommy Hilfiger at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City. Yet in all of this fancy professional experience nothing has affected him more profoundly than using his creativity in the service of others.
Shawn's taste for greater purpose in his professional life started at a summer camp in Kampala, Uganda in 1998. The camp was home to 1,200 orphan children, almost all victims of AIDS and tribal genocide, and was designed to educate and encourage them that they could become something and make a difference in their country. Shawn designed banners, signs and giveaways for the camp, and was struck by the sight of his work in the hands of smiling and laughing orphans.
Since that time Shawn has worked within a broad range of markets--everything from the music industry, to venture capital start-ups, finally landing at Personality™, where he's thrilled to work full time on the things that matter to him most. Speaking of things that matter to Shawn, he is married to his best friend, Valerie.
Random Fact:
He once helped build the second floor of an Israeli police officer's home with five Arab-Israelis and two Chinese workers just outside Tel Aviv, Israel.
Other Title:
Valedictorian. Shawn graduated at the top of his design class in 1996 for having one phat portfolio.

From oil tycoons to bankers, from automakers to clothiers, America was roaring. It's emergence not only as a nation but also as a viable player in the world fed its optimism and aggrandizement of what could be if only we put our minds to it. (Read more)
