Bio
Chris Schermer
Cheryl was recently promoted to ACD at SCHERMER. Not just because she earned it, but because she owned it! Whether given an obstacle or an opportunity, she made the most of it and led us and her team to or though it. Cheryl's a great example of someone stepping up and shining when she was given the chance. I'm not only appreciative, I'm impressed!
Jude Savage
Cheryl and I were the creative go-to-team for art direction, branding, strategy and creative direction at Hanley Wood. Cheryl made me a better art director and together we created a lot of campaigns that won us business as well as some very happy clients. I could always count on her to be there for me.
