Shannon Towell is an Australian seasoned Freelance Experience Designer with a passion for interaction, design, and museums—and loves to find any possible way she can combine the three.

Shannon is passionate about (and very good at) creating physical and digital interactives that not only look inviting and fun, but prioritise usability and accessibility.

Her extensive experience has led to her work being housed in most all of Melbourne's museums, and other national institutions.

She loves tackling UX problems head-on, playing with emerging tech, and finding creative solutions that enhance the user experience.
