With knowledge and expertise in façades and detailing, her focus has been on delivering façade detail packages and spatial planning. Her extensive built experience enables her to identify priorities specific to each project stage, ensuring efficiency and quality.

She has worked on a wide range of projects, including large-scale mixed-use developments, multi-storey office buildings, and residential towers, taking projects from concept through to completion.

Outside the office, Cherry is an avid sports enthusiast, actively engaging in tennis, basketball and various water sports.
