Sherry Brown :: Designer/Architect
Sherry Brown was born and raised in a small Louisiana town, but that didn't keep her from dreaming big. She headed off to LSU in Baton Rouge on a full academic scholarship and never looked back. Graduating with a Bachelors of Architecture in 1997, she, and her now husband Rick, also an architecture graduate, began working in a local firm. That's where Sherry caught the graphic design bug. Working closely with the firm's principal designer, she learned the ins and outs of layout and design. Not to mention the fact that she became an Autocad wiz! In 2003, Sherry began her solo career as a graphic designer with her firm, twitch designlabs.
Jack quickly saw opportunity in Sherry's unique combination of natural design talent and architectural background. The two have collaborated on numerous successes, including ADDY award-winning brochures and identities for Florida's SanDunes community. Sherry's work on Gulf County Tourism, Sunset Pointe and Port Inn are also viewable on our web site.
