Sherry Hodges is a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. Sherry’s interest in the design world started at a young age pushing her bedroom furniture around with frequent requests for new paint colors, much to her parents’ chagrin. While attending school at San Francisco State University, she pursued and received a BA in Criminal Justice with the intent to enter Law Enforcement. It was during this time that she began working in a furniture design showroom which had her rearranging furniture on a large scale as the Visual Merchandiser. She says her current position with NRI, of Furnishings Project Manager, maintains a perfect balance between indulging her creative side while keeping her natural bookkeeper’s need to maintain order satisfied.

Sherry travels the Texas hill country exploring Texas’ burgeoning wineries with her family when she isn't occupied with managing her three Airbnb properties.
