About Me

Cherisse Thurab::Advertising Art Director/Photographer/Visionary ..
*hi-lighted text will act as "cole's notes" for you lazy readers.
my name is ms. cherisse thurab but you can call me cherisse or ree...or just cherisse if you don't know me that well
i'm not 82 years old but i am a virgo. i don't know what qualities that gives me. hmm earth sign. maybe it means i'm down to earth...uh huh - i agree. i love meeting and working with like minded people. forming new experiences, blah, blah, blah. i value the life i live, my creator, my family and friends, my work and people who support it.
i like to talk alot [of smack] and laugh loud. i have about 10,000 different laughs and i like to make sure i use them all.
stale jokes, inside jokes, sarcasm, youtube, google, msn messenger, sugar, oxygen and my sleek, black ipod keep me going through the day. more random info on me can be found on the left in those pointless quizzes i enjoy.
in my spare time. stop. i don't usually have spare time so if i'm ever caught chilling, i'm probably just procrastinating. so in my "spare time" i stilt dance, talk about america's next top model and dine at wimpy's with my sis where we talk about antm more and spend a 1/2 hr trying to figure out how much tip we're going to leave.
my love for design keeps my mouth watering; it keeps me yearning for more.
i'm always looking for new ways to express myself in print, in video/audio, in attitude, in life.
i'm an art direction major in my last (4th) year OCAD. this means i make ads. everything from concept to execution.
i'm currently working on an 8 month long campaign that will end in april. i'll share my ads, illustrations and graphics with you very soon.
i love photography as much as i love art direction.
this page is dedicated to my photographic image collection which you can view below.
feel free to leave your comments on my shots.

keep smiling.
