Shawn Leamon
Chief Strategist
Outside of work, I have two loves: ultra-endurance events and travel.
Over ten years ago, I left the world of investment banking and wealth management in NYC to branch out on my own. I first combined my love of law with my desire to help people make smart financial decisions in a series of resources called “Divorce and Your Money.” Then I developed LaGrande Marketing to help law firms grow their practices.

Noelia Peña
Project Manager
“If it makes you happy, then it’s not a waste of time.“
I’m Noelia Peña, originally from the vibrant Dominican Republic, but currently calling Berlin home as I embark on my master’s degree journey and savor all that this remarkable city has to offer.
Throughout my life, I’ve been a bit of a risk-taker, always eager to embrace challenges and dive headfirst into the messiest of situations, both personally and professionally. I thrive in the role of the helper and problem-solver, constantly seeking ways to improve not only my own work but also to empower those around me.
I really enjoy spending time in the mountains, especially watching the sunset and taking in the fresh air. Nature is a great source of comfort for me.

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”
Born and raised in Argentina, I was fortunate to receive a bilingual education. This foundation enriched my cultural understanding and opened many professional doors for me. I studied advertising at university and found my passion in digital marketing from day one. I’m very curious and have explored different digital fields during my career such as paid media, SEO, email marketing, and programmatic.
I’m a big fan of nature and my favorite place to go to is always the beach. I love doing CrossFit and taking long walks with my dog in my free time.
When I lived with my mother, we had 8 dogs, 3 cats, and 4 fish, so our house was like a zoo.

“The truth is – magic lives in all of us who choose to look for it.” – ATTICUS
Starting in the creative industry as an interior decorator, I translated clients’ visions into visual stories. Later, I founded The Bridal Home Edit, crafting personalized registries for brides that align with their individual styles. This experience showcased my knack for meeting client needs and the impact of design choices. I’m all about the wanderlust life – exploring new cultures and picking up languages.
My journey has led me to call many places home, including El Salvador (where I’m from), Brazil, Florence, Italy, and St. Augustine, Florida. Whether I’m jet-setting or indulging in my favorite activities like table scaping, playing padel, scuba diving, skiing, or hitting up a Pilates class, there’s always one constant in my life: Remy, my Maltipoo puppy, who takes the top spot in my heart.

I’m one of the coolest people you’ll ever meet and currently writing my first book.

When I’m not editing videos, I dedicate myself to my other passions: video games, drawing, baking cupcakes and brownies, and crafts. I love staying at home and creating in my own space, which makes my career as a video editor perfect for me.

Kate Dolan
Legal Writer
Words are like pieces of broken glass. They can cut if you’re not careful. And if you just pile them up, they look like trash. But when you fit them together in a certain way, you can see art in the result.
I’ve been writing professionally since I graduated law school in 1992, but I detoured from legal writing and editing for several years to focus on fiction, journalism, and marketing copy. When I returned to writing about legal topics, I felt that the experience in other fields improved my ability to explain legal concepts.
My characters take over when I write fiction. I forget that I’m supposed to be in charge.
