Aveda?s Design Director Finds A Professional Home In Minneapolis, MN

When I first started reading Design*Sponge back in 2004, I became obsessed with the written voices of each editor, conjuring up images of what I thought they looked like, what their passions were — it was sort of a version of the game “Dinner Party” where you name the six people you’d invite to a lavish meal at your own home. Shannon Grant was always on my guest list. Her name alone inspired visions of a sunglasses wearing, beautiful genius who only appeared at the most exclusive events and stayed for 10 mysterious minutes before she drove off in her convertible at top speed. While I’m thankful for my prolific imagination, my imaginary Shannon couldn’t have been further from the real Shannon Grant. When I learned that Shannon was, in fact, the genius behind the package design of a favorite Aveda product I use every day, I knew I had to reach out and virtually meet her. And beg her for an interview.
A thoughtful artist at heart, Shannon is an open, down-to-earth woman who listens to her inner-voice with patience. That enviable characteristic led her from New York City to Minneapolis, MN, where she lovingly directs all aspects of design at one of my favorite companies, Aveda. Today, Shannon graciously shares a peek into her past, present and future — and I’m still hoping she’ll appear at my dinner party someday soon. –Caitlin
