In this episode of The Deviled Egg Society, I’m joined by my dear friend and powerhouse creative, Shannin Williams.

Shannin’s story is nothing short of inspiring—from decades as an interior designer at Stephen F. Austin State University, to launching her own business as a sought-after architectural illustrator, to teaching designers all over the world how to master hand-rendering without relying on cold, computer-generated images.

What started with a single sketch (and a client who insisted on paying her extra for it!) has now turned into an international business. Her illustrations have even caught the eye of The Property Brothers and landed her on TV.

But what makes Shannin’s journey so powerful isn’t just her talent—it’s her message about finding your “true north” and following it with passion and grit, no matter what season of life you’re in.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How Shannin went from designing an entire university campus to designing for world-class clients
•  The story of her very first sketch that sparked a business (and why a retired teacher’s words stuck with her forever)
•  Why hand-rendering is making a comeback and how she teaches designers to create illustrations that sell their ideas
•  The importance of finding your “true north” (and how to know when you’ve found it)
•  Why passion and grit matter more than following a linear career path

If you’ve ever felt “too late” to start something new, or boxed in by what others expect you to do—Shannin’s story is proof that it’s never too late to step into your calling.
