In high school, it was apparent that Shannon had a passion for floral design. She worked at a floral shop and self-taught the art of design. She then became certified at the David-Curtis School of Design in Centerville, Ohio, in 1995. She worked as a part-time floral designer while obtaining her B.A. degree in Business from Baldwin-Wallace College in 1998, mastering the skill of design and obtaining hands-on experience of running a business. She created her own in-home business in 1999 while working in customer service and eventually outside sales for a supply company. Upon her move to North Carolina, Shannon then obtained the role as the head designer and lead wedding consultant for a popular flower shop outside Charlotte, North Carolina from 2001-2003. In 2005, the move to Ohio resulted in her taking up residency in Medina County.
