MEET SHAKIRA
I grew up reading Shakespeare and Toni Morrison. Opera at Lincoln Center on Saturdays, and six-hour Baptist church services on Sundays. My perspective is shaped by many influences, driven by a deep curiosity about where human experiences intersect.
I don’t think I’m ever off because everything that I take in helps to feed my process. When not working, you can find me at a museum or gallery, sharing things I find cool in various group chats, or listening to stories from strangers.

Charles Hall, Creative Director
“Shakira is the strategic partner every creative needs.”
Lindsey Neeld, Strategy Director - The Mix Global
“I had a great conversation with shakira about our passion for strategy and research, and the importance of understanding culture and cultural undertones in our work. I jotted down this quote from Shakira during our call which I thought was illuminating, “If you understand culture, you understand people.”
