About ChaVon

I’m ChaVon Shade, a communicator and creative based in Eastern North Carolina. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in May 2024 with degrees in Media & Journalism and Global Studies, along with a certificate in Fashion Communication and Marketing.

Since graduating, I’ve worn many hats and put out my share of fires, managing social media strategy for a medical clinic, to co-running a creative small business, to helping launch an international solar manufacturing startup as one of its first employees. Whether I’m writing speeches for state officials, planning large-scale employee events, or creating digital campaigns, I’ve found my strength in adapting quickly, building community, and telling stories that connect.

I’m passionate about spaces where creativity and communication meet; whether that’s in media, events, or culture. Outside of work, I love exploring fashion, travel, and history, always looking for new ways to bring people together through storytelling and shared experiences.
