Sherry Wong
I moved to SF from NY ten years ago, where I was an artist with I-20 Gallery and the assistant editor at Artnet Magazine. In San Francisco, I worked at a hedge fund, volunteered for organizations that serve low-income students, and kids in Haiti. I started at Autodesk, Pier 9, as a resident artist in the residency program where creative technologists were given access to industrial robots and CNC machines. During my time there, I was an advisor, a community organizer, project manager and program manager for the residency program, and I created the Impact Residency Program in partnership with the Autodesk Foundation to accelerate prototyping social good inventions.
I throw outdoor parties with the DJ collective, Brass Tax, and work on large-scale art projects for Burning Man featuring koi ponds, boomboxes, and zoetropes. My husband is a magician, and my cat is a surly Bengal.
