👋🏻 G'day! I'm Sherry!

I’m a senior at Stanford University studying product design with a focus in HCI and UI/UX.

Hailing from the pastoral city of Fargo, North Dakota, I traded snowy plains for the Silicon Valley sun. But I kept the same curiosity that drove me to tinker, sketch, empathize, and build things that make everyday life a bit better...simpler.

Now, I channel that curiosity into designing thoughtful digital experiences that can bridge people and technology. In my processes, I strive to understand human behavior and user experience to inform my design choices to make meaningful, precise solutions. By combining empathy, collaboration and innovation, you get at the true heart of design that will impact those around you.

Nice to meet you! :)

Core Values
