A letter from Shannon
Hi, I’m Shannon Kate Murray — founder of High Flying Design. But that’s not all… I’m a business strategist, certified coach, magazine editor & cheerleader for women rewriting what success looks like.
I know what it’s like to look successful on the outside — and still feel stuck, uncertain, or a little burnt out on the inside.
For years, I followed the path I thought I should take: a career in marketing, steady promotions, a seat at the strategy table. I was leading, delivering, achieving. But behind the scenes, I kept wondering — is this really it?
I’ve always been driven. But I never resonated with the grind.
I wanted a different kind of success — one that made space for vision and values, for growth and peace, for ambition and joy. I didn’t want to build a life where everything looked right but felt wrong. I wanted to feel good in the process. I wanted to build a business that felt like me — and help other women do the same.
That’s how High Flying Design was born.
It started as a simple design studio in lockdown — a calm corner of the internet where women could get their businesses online during a time of chaos.
But it quickly became something more.
Today, it’s a business growth studio and an online magazine — a home for high-flyers like you. Women who are smart, thoughtful, ambitious — and ready to do success differently.
Most of my clients already have a business. They’ve launched, they’ve built — but somewhere along the way, things got messy, unclear, or misaligned. They’re craving clarity. Simplicity. Momentum that actually feels sustainable.
They want to feel grounded in their decisions.
Confident in their strategy.
And proud of how they’re growing — not just what they’re growing.
That’s where I come in.
Whether we’re mapping your next chapter through The Business Reset, working on visibility in a Power Hour, or simply connecting through a story in the High Flying Design Magazine — I’m here to help you clear the noise, find your way forward, and enjoy the ride.
Because success isn’t just about what you build.
It’s about how you feel while building it.
And I want you to feel calm, confident, and completely in your element.
This space was made for female high-flyers like you — the visionaries, the deep feelers, the women quietly building something bold and beautiful behind the scenes.
I’m so glad you’re here.
