Early on, she began working with one of the largest retailers in the surfing industry. Her job there required her to regularly create elaborate store front displays that would showcase the latest apparel as well as hard goods ranging from surfboards to skateboard wheels. This experience ultimately fostered her appreciation and understanding of visual merchandising. With an eye for current trends and fashions she quickly found herself in the position of buyer for women's apparel. Attending trade shows, she was tasked in making critical decisions on which merchandise to buy for the upcoming season while establishing relationships with vendors and adhering to budgets. Her success there and at several other retailers is what would propel Shandy to the next stage of her career. She worked for seven years at a large women's apparel catalog in North Idaho where she refined her skills as a photo stylist. Though her experience includes styling props and a variety of product, her specialty is apparel. For the last two years she has worked as a stylist in the freelance capacity, her main clients are Coldwater Creek and Amazon. Shandy's creative ability is built on the foundation of hard work, focus and attention to detail. Her easy going personality reflects the aloha spirit she kindled growing up on the North Shore of Kauai.
