higher creative frequencies with Shakira Hunt

Written By Narrative Media Co.

We had the pleasure of talking to Shakira Hunt, the Owner and Chief Creative Director of Philly-based Shakira Hunt Creative Studio.

Shakira is an interior designer by training, graduating from Moore College of Art & Design, with a BFA in Interior Design, and a photographer by trade. After side hustling in photography while working a full design job, Shakira decided to take a leap of faith into full-time entrepreneurship. 

Plus! At the time you’re listening to this, Shakira’s “Give My Flowers: Soft Petals” exhibition is currently on display at the Delaware Art Museum from March through September 2024. Stay tuned for more information about the inspiration behind the project.
