Shawn joined the Zimmerman Design team at the beginning of 2024, bringing expertise in photography, video editing, and design. He lives in Dayton, Ohio, with his parents and siblings.
Shawn's passion for photography began at age 12 when he set out to photograph 100 bird species in a year. Whether capturing a striking portrait, a vivid nature scene, or distant objects in outer space, he finds joy in showcasing the extraordinary beauty of the world God created. This appreciation for beauty and storytelling also shaped his experiences while serving abroad.
He spent two years serving in Gaziantep, Türkiye, sharing hope with those in need. During his time there, a devastating earthquake struck the region, claiming thousands of lives. In the aftermath, Shawn and his team traveled extensively, providing relief to as many as possible. He shares these moving stories in his book, When the Ground Shakes, offering a firsthand account of resilience and hope.
Shawn loves learning and imagining how things can be improved. His creativity, paired with his compassion, makes him a joy to collaborate with and an integral part of the team.
