Bio

I am a Sr Graphic Designer

Hello there! I'm Cheryl, your friendly neighborhood designer with a knack for turning visual dreams into reality. For the past 15 years, I've been the go-to gal for brands looking to spice up their style, from the cozy corners of local startups to the bustling boardrooms of big names like Jarvis International Freight.

I took a little detour to the land of diaper changes and playdates (yep, mom life!), but even then, I kept one hand in the design world, freelancing and fine-tuning my skills with the latest trends. As the creative captain at Formation Brands, I steered my team through the thrilling waters of innovation, making sure every design made a splash.

Armed with my trusty Adobe Suite and an ever-curious Canva spirit, I'm all about creating designs that not only look awesome but feel like a hearty chat over a cup of coffee. So, let’s chat and bring that 'wow' to your brand’s doorstep!
