Shari Rannells

Every exceptional design studio has someone who orchestrates the invisible work. For Slaughter Design Studio, that's Shari. With more than three decades of financial and operational management, she ensures projects move forward seamlessly, timelines hold, and details never slip through the cracks. A Texan since childhood, she's called Fredericksburg home since 1991, where she raised two children and now dotes on four granddaughters and twin grandsons. Her gift is making complexity feel simple, always staying three steps ahead with remarkable precision and warmth. Off duty, she's likely baking something spectacular, road-tripping with her husband, or gathering loved ones for one of her famous backyard gatherings.
