SHANNON
Hi, I’m Shannon, a DIY expert, editorial and commercial prop stylist. For 20 plus years I’ve been so lucky to work with Better Homes & Gardens, HGTV (was on two shows back in the day) design/build companies and product lines such as Target and Ace Hardware.
I’ve been in front of the camera for over two decades (check out my latest, Create with Quimby on CBS, KOIN News AM Extra) and thoroughly enjoy collaborating nationwide as a public speaker with promoters, organizations and business owners.
Here you’ll discover endless home and garden projects and styling inspiration for all spaces inside and out.
I look forward to having our paths cross.

THANK YOU
“It’s been a delight working with Shannon Quimby on several DIY projects aired on KOIN 6 for the past two years. Not only has she come up with some amazingly fun projects, but she’s also started teaching them at some of our Parr Lumber locations. Her super friendly, outgoing attitude makes her a pleasure to work with.”
—Kelly Joswiak, Marketing Manager, The Parr Company
“ DIY Expert. DIY Queen. The MacGyver of Do It Yourself… many titles are very fitting and extremely appropriate for her!
Working with Shannon Quimby is an absolute producer’s dream! Not only is she phenomenal on camera and extremely relatable to viewers but she goes out of her way to bring ready-made, turnkey content.
She brings interesting, fun and topically relevant project ideas- always making an effort to make the steps very tangible and easy to digest and follow. Her segments are very interactive for both the show hosts and viewers and turn out fantastic. She does such an amazing job taking the fear out of approaching DIY and appealing to people of all levels and savvy of do it yourself.
Her project ideas are inexpensive, require minimal supplies and are sustainable – she frequently features projects that entail repurposing old household items into trendy home décor or gifts.
Anyone that has the honor and pleasure of crossing paths with her would agree that she is phenomenal at what she does. Shannon is truly the DIY whisperer.”
— Heidi Uhlman-Johnson
“Shannon Quimby was a great addition to our shows. After she appeared at the Builders St. Louis Home & Garden Show, we had her back for the Builders St. Charles Home Show. She is easy to work with, presents fun, informative topics and is super with the media. We love her!”
— Home Builders Association of St. Louis and Eastern Missouri
“Shannon Quimby and I worked together on producing stories for home and garden magazines for Better Homes & Gardens Special Interest Publications. Shannon always came to photo shoots prepared and super organized. I also appreciated her enthusiasm. She has a can-do spirit and works passionately to make her projects the best. She had a strong editorial vision and knew how to tell a story. Plus, she’s a great people person. Her ability to talk to anyone made photo shoots so much better. She also readily problem solves and gets things done. I love working with Shannon.”
– Samantha S. Thorpe, Home and Garden Editor, Writer, and Producer; Owner of Shriver House Media + Studios
“Shannon transformed our house in ways I couldn’t have even imagined! Honestly, my husband and I feel like our bright and happy bungalow style home could be on a front page of a magazine. We absolutely love it! Shannon is wicked talented and does an amazing job working with what you already have and evolving it into a home that looks and feels fabulous.”
— Homeowner, Julie Ferguson, CUDE
“Shannon has spoken for our organization several times on both a national and local chapter level. She is one of the highest rated speakers we have ever had and exceeds expectations every time. She’s an engaging, exciting and passionate speaker that always leaves her audience feeling inspired.”
— Jenny Cano, Executive Director National Interior Design Society
Shannon Quimby is a “rockstar” creative professional, an incredibly talented photo stylist, who has a genius eye for detail and trend. As Photo Art Director, we worked daily during my tenure with the Target Canada account for RR Donnelley/Iridio Portland for almost two years, shooting all studio home environments and classic flat lays. When I relocated to Overstock.com, I instantly brought Shannon onboard with me as an advisor and freelance stylist. She helped me prepare the location for hiring stylists, building and stocking the studio with a proper prop room. I have also worked with Shannon on traditional location shoots, and her dynamic eye and attention to detail is second to none.
Shannon is always a joy to work with, and I trusted her to always get my shot. We have a synergy where non-verbal cue’s matched with ease (she knew the right prop to pull before I even asked). Shannon is funny and lighthearted and makes any set atmosphere a joy, as well as functional and efficient.
I cannot express how much I loved working with Shannon. I highly recommend her talent and work ethic.
— JON TAYLOR CARTER, Art Director
“Upon meeting Shannon, I soon realized she had to be our feature presenter… She is warm, inviting, smart, funny, thoughtful in her approach, and delightful in front of the camera. Viewers loved her ingenious projects and were thoroughly engaged with questions and comments. Off camera, Shannon was a professional collaborator and open to all thoughts, while adding a twist of her own charismatic charm, making this simple thought into a huge success. There’s a reason Shannon has earned the title DIY Expert; she perfectly executes 1-hour segments impeccably, with viewers asking and wanting more.”
