Celebrating Shannon
Shannon, the dynamic co-owner of Nuzi Corporation, exemplifies the power of ambition and family support. With a rich background in the music industry, she has seamlessly merged her family's legacy with her innovative spirit to carve out a unique path in various fields, including fashion, tech, and wellness.
Growing up in a family deeply entrenched in the music business, Shannon developed a keen eye for multimillion-dollar productions from an early age. This environment nurtured her emotional intelligence and equipped her with the skills to navigate diverse professional landscapes, laying a solid foundation for her future endeavors. Eschewing traditional university pathways, Shannon graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) at 19. She swiftly built a remarkable career, working with prestigious brands such as Moncler, Tory Burch, and Sanrio. Her experience in the fashion industry spans over 12 years, during which she has become a proponent of slow, eco-friendly fashion.
Inspired by her brother's transformation through a holistic lifestyle, Shannon embraced a Whole Foods Plant-Based diet and practices like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, yoga, and meditation. Her commitment to health and wellness is a cornerstone of her personal and professional life. Shannon's years in Taiwan were pivotal. She collaborated with high-profile brands and media outlets, developed the augmented reality Picture Robot "Picbot," and honed her Mandarin Chinese skills. This period deepened her desire to contribute positively to humanity, leading to her involvement in the cannabis industry, where she strives to enhance quality and impact.
Shannon's entrepreneurial spirit shines through her various ventures. She remains active in the music and fashion industries, with a focus on sustainability. Her jewelry brand, The High Priestess II, crafts pieces believed to offer healing and protection, embracing natural elements. This year, she is set to debut her fashion brand, THE NUZI®, which promotes slow fashion principles, authenticity, self-love, and kindness. Shannon enjoys traveling, visiting art galleries and museums, cooking, sewing, writing fiction, and practicing aerial arts in her leisure time. Her diverse interests reflect her vibrant personality and commitment to a holistic lifestyle.
Shannon can often promote organic farming at THE ORGANIC CUP, working behind the scenes at ONE PULSE EVENTS, or sharing her plant-based culinary exploits and lifestyle with her community. Her passion for art is also evident through X_X ILLUSTRATIONS, which combines cute, dopey art with punny humor.
With over 15 years in the music industry, 12 years in fashion, 8 years in radio, 5 years in tech, and 3 years in the cannabis industry, Shannon exemplifies versatility and dedication. Her journey is a powerful reminder of the impact one can make through passion, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to bettering oneself and the world.
