    "I engaged with Deep Varnish on a range of projects including brochure development, photography and videography, SEO, collateral design, annual giving optimization, social media and email strategy, and a full website and brand redesign. Shawn was an exceptional partner throughout. He built strong relationships with our staff, took time to deeply understand our organization, and consistently approached the work as if it were his own. His innovative thinking and thoughtful approach gently pushed our organization beyond its comfort zone in ways that ultimately strengthened our fundraising and advanced our mission. I would highly recommend Shawn and Deep Varnish to any organization seeking a creative, strategic, and truly invested partner."

Our creative direction is just one example of how he’s transformed how we show the thrill of attending one of these events through incredible visual storytelling.
