About Tanner Shea
Creative Director. T-Shirt Devotee. Visual Storyteller.

Tanner Shea is a seasoned art director and designer with a global creative footprint. He honed his design skills in Austria and later taught the next generation of creatives at the renowned Miami Ad School. Throughout his career, Shea has led global campaigns featuring iconic figures like RuPaul, David Beckham, Carly Rae Jepsen — and even Bullseye, the beloved Target dog.

Shea’s passion for T-shirts runs deep. “I make T-shirts. A lot of T-shirts,” he says. So much so that he once committed to designing a new physical T-shirt every single day for a year, sharing each creation online. That daily creative discipline fuels his distinct, pop-savvy approach to fashion and branding.
