SKILLS
ABOUT CHERYL VARGAS
I don’t just teach art. I design experiences that change how people think, collaborate, and connect. As the founder of Studio 928, I’ve worked with corporate teams, leadership groups, and organizations to turn creativity into something far more powerful than a finished painting — a shared experience that builds trust, unlocks ideas, and strengthens culture. Over the years, I’ve partnered with companies like Disney, Netflix, LinkedIn, and the Gates Foundation to facilitate creative workshops that: Break down silosSpark collaboration across teamsEncourage creative problem-solvingCreate memorable, human-centered experiences What makes this work different is simple: This isn’t about art. It’s about people. My background in graphic arts, combined with years of leading group experiences, allows me to bridge structure and creativity — giving even the most “non-creative” participants a way in. Inside Studio 928, we’ve built a space where: Teams reconnectLeaders think differentlyIndividuals rediscover creativity without pressure And increasingly, I’m exploring how emerging tools like AI can enhance — not replace — human creativity. Because the future of work isn’t just about efficiency. It’s about connection, culture, and creative confidence. If you\'re: A company looking for meaningful team experiences A leader planning an offsite or retreat An organization that values human-centered innovation Let’s talk. DM me or visit: Studio928.net
