The Designer Behind Every Detail
Shawna Young opened Young Designs in 2010, not long after an internship in the event industry in Los Angeles gave her the confidence to bring what she’d learned back home to Arkansas. More than a decade later, the idea behind it hasn’t changed: event planning should feel personal, not transactional.
When you work with Young Designs, you work directly with Shawna — on weddings, corporate events, and nonprofit galas alike, including years spent on the planning team for the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Miracle Ball. No hand-offs, no account managers, no guessing who’s actually running the show.
She’s spent years learning to think two steps ahead — the questions you haven’t asked yet, the details that make a day feel effortless instead of managed. Clients don’t just hire a planner. They gain a sidekick who’s as invested in the outcome as they are.
