ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Cheryl, a Chicago-based, jack-of-all-trades Senior Designer and Art Director with 8+ years of experience in brand and web design, advertising, and marketing. I fell in love with both graphic and web design as a child, spending all my free time teaching myself Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, exploring HTML/CSS, and cementing my lifelong calling. I’ve had that passion ever since, balancing my love for design with life as a home improvement enthusiast, avid book reader, photographer, UGC content creator, and proud cat mom to Poppy!
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Advertising from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a postgraduate certificate in Graphic Design from Chicago Portfolio School. I'm currently the Design Manager at tgin, leading all things creative, for products sold in 12k+ retail locations globally. I also run D'Souza D'Signs, a design agency serving 100+ clients globally for 9+ years. I pride myself on my attention to detail and ability to switch from minimalism to maximalism whenever it's needed!
I love to create aesthetically compelling and strategic work to help brands stand out. If you have a project in mind or just want to connect, I'd love to hear about it. You can reach out by email or book a meeting above!
