Meet Shan, our word wrangler, messaging guide, and champion of clarity here at Red Kite. After more than a decade spent shaping young minds as an English teacher, she swapped the classroom for the creative world, bringing her love of language, storytelling, and helping people find their voice along for the ride.
Shan’s superpower? Taking all those swirling ideas in your head and turning them into clear, confident, down-to-earth messaging that feels so you. Whether she’s mapping out brand messaging frameworks or polishing up copy, she’s all about making sure our clients’ words truly connect—without the jargon, fluff, or “meh” vibes.
A proud Brissie local, Shan’s life outside Red Kite is filled with reading, travelling, diving, and raising her awesome little human with her husband Dan. She’s also a collector of tattoos, sneakers, and hilarious stories—ask her about that time she accidentally set her face on fire in Austria.
If you’re feeling stuck finding the right words for your brand, Shan’s the calm, encouraging guide you want in your corner. (Bonus: she’ll probably make you laugh along the way.)
