Co-Founder/Owner

Sherri is a fashion design entrepreneur. She started her career at Brown Shoe Company, where she quickly moved up the ranks to become Vice President of Operations, opening over 300 retail locations across the country. Sherri left the corporate world in pursuit of becoming an entrepreneur. She then earned a Master of Business Administration from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. Shortly after getting her Masters Degree, Sherri started an apparel company. The struggles of manufacturing in California ignited her passion for creating a reliable local resource for emerging designers. In 2016, Sherri founded “Arizona Fashion Source,” a small-batch apparel manufacturer, and “Events at F.A.B.R.I.C,” a fashion venue hosting a wide variety of corporate and private events. She also co-founded F.A.B.R.I.C, a full-service fashion incubator, and Fabric Tempe, a 501(c)(3) non-profit supporting emerging designers where she serves as President and Treasurer of the board. Reusa PPE was born of necessity. As COVID-19 rapidly took hold in 2020 it became clear that a PPE shortage was among the most pressing challenges facing the world. Combining expertise in garment manufacturing, innovation and business a new company took shape with a focus on this global challenge. Sherri is now working on an on-demand manufacturing model that will provide emerging designers and brands, selling direct to consumers, with sustainable, innovative, manufacturing resources close to home. She also owns the women’s apparel brand Adea Everyday Luxury.
