Jennifer Shaw

Jennie comes from a large family and is very used to being at the hub of activity, which makes her a perfect fit for SLA’s busy office. When she’s not at the Office, you’ll find her either in the park with a good book or pursuing her passion for illustration and graphic design by doing commissioned work for various publications.

While not a native New Yorker, Jennifer has thoroughly enjoyed transitioning from suburban life to the faster pace of the city. She currently lives in Manhattan with her wonderful husband and one timid, but very sweet, cat.
