Hey there! I'm Cheryl.

I’m a multidisciplinary designer and illustrator working across digital design, branding, campaigns, and merchandise. I currently work at Eleven Peppers Studios where I help government and commercial clients turn complex ideas into clear, compelling visual systems.

I enjoy working across a wide creative range, from refined and structured to bold and playful. I focus on designing what best serves the idea, the audience, and the platform. That flexibility allows me to move easily between expressive and structured work, while keeping everything intentional and on brand.

Most days you’ll find me designing in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, or experimenting with motion to bring static visuals to life. I love solving puzzles through design practices and finding patterns through data.
