Shelley Jones

Senior Art Director

Leapfrog’s favorite Pirate, Shelley Jones, graduated from East Carolina University in 2002 with her bachelor’s degree in fine arts. After several years of graphic design works, Shelley jumped at the chance to work with the Leapfrog team, and recently earned a promotion to Senior Art Director in 2009 after serving as art director since 2005. She even says it’s her dream job, although she waits for that perfect project to come along—one with no boundaries on design or cost.

As someone who looks for inspiration everywhere she goes, Shelley is deeply invested in both sides of her work. She is committed to providing design that meets clients’ needs in a way that is both practical and efficient, while also creating a beautiful work of art that will wow them. She finds she works best in a hyper-organized method, saving her spontaneity for when she’s at home or hitting the slopes to snowboard.
