Allow me to introduce myself

Justin Shiels has always been compelled by the power of words and pictures to change hearts and minds.

He received his BFA in Graphic Design from Loyola University New Orleans and his Masters in Arts Administration from the University of New Orleans.

His creative career has led him down many paths, including working as a Creative Director in advertising and tech, launching a wellness platform, and starting a conference. But his journey has always connected him back to making people feel things.

As a creative consultant, illustrator, writer, and speaker, Justin loves solving complex problems using the lens of emotional intelligence. He creates projects that focus on empathy, design, and culture and enjoys partnering with brands that create joy for their customers.

His upcoming title, The Reset Workbook is scheduled to debut on December 6, 2023, with Spruce Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
