Hi, my name is Sherry. I’m an interdisciplinary designer, musician and artist currently based in Toronto, Canada.
At present, I’m making efforts to develop a unique design style and explore new possibilities by using diverse media, both print and digital. I’m particularly fascinated by combining elements of music, poetic narrative, and multilingualism in my designs. Through this integration, I aim to offer a fresh perspective in the field of creative visual.
