When I was a kid, I loved getting new art supplies — crayons, paints, pens, markers, and, of course, fresh stacks of paper. Each one felt full of possibility, just waiting to be turned into something.
These days, my tools have shifted from crayons and paper to a computer and a trackball, but the feeling is exactly the same. I still get that spark of excitement every time I start something new.
With more than 20 years in design, I help marketing teams and small businesses bring ideas to life through visual storytelling and purposeful design. My focus is on blending creativity with clear communication to build connection, strengthen brands, and support business growth.
From time to time I’ll take on freelance projects. Feel free to contact me with your project request.
Cheryl is an incredibly talented Art Director. I have worked with Cheryl for many years on B2B and Consumer campaigns. Her ability to translate complex innovations and concepts into beautiful, visual story telling for print and digital formats is remarkable. Her portfolio is filled with designs that evoke emotions and strong connections to brands. But it doesn’t stop there. Cheryl’s designs are strategic. Her designs build brand loyalty and deliver powerful, visual calls-to-action that motivate buyers to take that leap of faith. Cheryl gets the job done. She is a secret weapon, a problem solver and fast as lightening. She never stops learning new technologies, platforms and solutions to keep clients ahead of their competition. I strongly recommend Cheryl Forziati and suggest to anyone reading this – hire her, before your competition does.
"I have been lucky enough to hire Cheryl ...both as an Art Director and as a Graphic Designer, and in both practices she has consistently come through with outstanding work. She approaches art direction as a true pro, partnering with an appropriate copywriter - mine, in this case - to develop concepts that are on-target with the strategy, then following through with highly creative, detailed executions that wow clients."
"I have been delighted...with both Cheryl's responsive to time urgencies as well as creative challenges. She created an award winning logo for my company that continues to attract interest and comment. I would recommend her very highly to anyone looking for a creative graphic designer."
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cheryl through her design company, CA Design. As business expanded, Cheryl became a key freelance designer for us. She successfully designed several marketing pieces that became essential selling tools for our design capabilities. Cheryl had an amazing ability to listen to our objective, interpret them into creative ideas, and adapt to demanding schedules and client comments."
"When another company left me disappointed...midway through my web design project, Cheryl jumped in and made it happen. With today's dime a dozen, cookie cutter web templates, it's nice to know Cheryl can design for the unique and individual style of her clients. She's the real deal!"
Cheryl designed our logo and newsletter ...and we still get compliments on it all the time, five years later. Cheryl was great to work with and her work has been integral to our success in establishing our identity in our field."
