Shannon Kirsten Couch, 33

She doesn’t limit herself to one medium. Shannon Kirsten Couch, instead, works in gouache, watercolor and acrylics.

Couch’s illustrations have been featured on items such as greeting cards, notepads and wrapping paper. Her client list includes a host of household names — Hallmark, Trader Joe’s, Urban Outfitters, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom, to name a few.

Soon more of her designs will hit the shelves of Anthropologie stores. She’s collaborated with the national chain on designs for two dish towels and two dessert plates.
