Just because. Her mother still maintains the story is- she was screaming-"why"- from the minute she landed wrong side up and slapped the doctor for disturbing her afternoon nap. And to this day does not give "it" a rest except when she is sleeping. Which is where you will find her only between the hours of 2am and 7:30am. A belligerent non-smoker (in case you were wondering) and a frequent challenger of anything that resembles "normal" or desired by the masses, Cheryl is a natural born contrarian who talks faster than 2x speed on a podcast. She gravitates towards wanting to help designers who are the square pegs in a world of round holes, lose earrings impossibly frequently, fall off of platform shoes and are unapologetically saucy. Relaxing is not in the skill set. Life begins and ends with family. Her sacred words are: Why, Percipient, Whizbang and Profit. But please do not say the words: Package, Blocks, Red Flag, Overwhelm or Picked. Hives break out and it gets ugly. Known for her creative "what if" approach to all facets of business and an unrelenting search for the best solutions for designers and her firm's clients. Running a successful and dynamic business and teaching others to embrace their best life is her passion. Creating homes from the inside out follows as a close second. Her favorite hobby is research. Reference the "why" upon birth and it makes sense.
