hello!

Hey there! I'm Cheryl.

I’m a graphic designer and illustrator based in the Baltimore area with experience in illustration, branding, collateral, and merchandise design. Currently, I work for Eleven Peppers Studios where I design full brand campaigns and digital assets for government and commercial clients.

With a portfolio that spans a wide array of styles, I pride myself on the ability to adapt to any creative challenge. Not being confined to a single aesthetic allows me to tailor designs specifically to each client’s vision and goals, ensuring every piece is both unique and purposeful.

I mainly work with Illustrator and Photoshop, although I like to keep current with other design programs too. These days, I'm playing around with AfterEffects so I can find ways to bring some illustrations to life.

I love solving puzzles through design practices and finding patterns through data. If you'd like to work together, learn more about my work, or just say hello, feel free to send me an email at xcherylwang@gmail.com.
