Introducing Our Founder and Lead Instructor
Cheryl Savala
Professor at Cal State University Fullerton,
Creative Director, and Illustrator
I take creativity seriously.
How serious? Twenty-five years immersed in graphic design and the entertainment marketing community is a good start. My commitment to strong creative leadership means I’ve had the privilege to work with hundreds of artists, educators and entrepreneurs, helping to define brands and blockbusters like Star Wars, The X-Men and The Sound of Music.
While I absolutely love creating illustrative work for the entertainment industry, I equally enjoy mentoring artists. In fact, It’s an honor to have helped place 150+ (and counting) designers, illustrators and motion graphics artists in entertainment marketing. Not only have these talented individuals found their dream jobs, they’ve gone on to earn hundreds of Clios as well as license and publish original work through Fox, Disney, Marvel and major galleries! Yes, I’m one proud Momma Hen. That’s why I built The Creative Nest… to continue nurturing and helping fellow artists like you launch the career of your dreams.
Our Mission
