After battling the system through education searching for her purpose and direction, Sherrie decided to take her destiny into her own hands. Constant constantly, consciously or unconsciously, mainstream education felt too structured and restrictive and didn't embrace different thinking. Sherrie continued to fight a personal story line of distraction and label of rebellion fueled by a collection of 'Nos" And why's Sherrie used this to petrol to drive her own opportunities and exploding sales for Bieber and creating her own position at Vivienne Westwood? With a diagnosis of autism and ADHD two years ago, Sherrie is now using her new understanding to educate herself and others in acceptance and embracing her love of colour and finding joy in her uniqueness and individuality.
