All of the leaders and innovators featured in the 2026 Most Influential Edition are passionate about building and creating an industry that's better than the one in which they started. The publication highlights their thoughts about the industry changes needed and opportunities available.
In the article, Shannon expresses the need for the residential interior niche of the glazing industry to adopt best practices and formalized training, stating "The knowledge exists, it just needs to be captured and shared."
She also looks forward to the opportunities for her industry to bring glass into more areas of the home, supporting the wellness trend with glass for steam showers, saunas, and gyms, creating intentional spaces by providing privacy but not blocking out light, and embracing biophilic design.
"Glass is the perfect material for bringing natural light and views of nature further into the interior of the home."
About the nomination itself, Shannon stated "It's such an honor to be included in a list of professionals for whom I have so much admiration and respect."
