Hi, I’m Gabriella Shery—a New Yorker, art director, designer, and illustrator with a soft spot for books. I work at Penguin Random House, where I help bring stories to life through thoughtful, expressive design.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at the Brooklyn Public Library, leaving with more books than I planned. I’m often flipping through graphic novels, sketching, or trying a new hands-on craft—zinc plate etching is my current favorite.

I like keeping my hands busy and my shelves a little too full.

I’m currently a Printmaking Fellow at the Manhattan Graphics Center (Fall 2025), where I continue exploring the intersection of analog craft and visual storytelling.
