About

Yasmine (yes-meen) Shehab. LA Born, Lebanese roots and Italian in a past life. Designer of all things. Scorpio. I believe in chocolate for breakfast.

I'm an Art Director and Graphic Designer with extensive experience that has worked and designed for brands such as AwesomenessTV, DreamWorks Animation, Awestruck, Netflix, Snapchat, Royal Caribbean, iTunes, Amazon, Vidcon and Seventeen, to name a few.

I'm known as Jazzy Jaz or Yazzy Yaz, also for my exceptional collaborative and interpersonal skills. I'm a dynamic team player and accustomed to performing in deadline-driven environments with an emphasis on working within budget requirements.

I hope that my acquired and accumulated knowledge can be fully harnessed and funneled into creative energy and help me promote my evolution as an individual, both socially and professionally.
