Shannon Connor studied interior design at Ball State University. Her career in design began in Indianapolis at a local design firm followed by the The Trade Source, a showroom open to the design trade where she assisted design professionals from all over the state to meet client needs.

In 1996, Shannon moved to LA where she worked for Hinson & Company, a New York based company at the Pacific Design Center.
