Cherish Flieder is not only a designer, but an artist in the truest sense of the word, that has skills to help any client with a wide array of graphic, illustrative, and marketing needs. Cherish has been sketching, painting, drawing and creating innovative products ever since she was a small child.

My passion is art. I believe that beautiful things happen when form and function embody concept, color and texture. My greatest joy comes from helping people realize their visions. I am addicted to learning and problem-solving. I aim for beauty and excellence in everything I do.

Cherish pursues her passion for art and design at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Golden, Colorado. Her design studio, (Cherished Solutions, llc, and brands Something to Cherish™ and Painting for Life™), works with publishers, manufacturers and other niche businesses achieve their goals in the marketplace by creating designs and illustrations and pairing them with thoughtful marketing objectives. Cherish works on the creation and production of conceptual and cohesive licensing collections, product development, books (especially children’s books), packaging, and other marketing materials.

“Cherish Flieder’s creativity and professionalism is exceptional. She produces beautiful designs and I am totally confident in her expertise. I highly recommend her to do any professional designs.” ~Glen Mullins

Cherish comes to run her own art, design and licensing studio after many years in the fashion industry where she worked directly with golf fashion powerhouse and PG USA CEO, Nancy Haley. During that time Cherish created custom designs for Tehama (Clint Eastwood’s private golf club label) IZOD G (a licensee of Phillip Van Heusen Corporation) and the Arnold Palmer brand, generating several thousand designs that were used as print patterns, embroideries, catalog illustrations, creative die cut packaging and promotions as well as many different visors, jackets, golf apparel, handbags and belts. She oversaw the design, illustration and production of numerous color precise, catalog projects. She also helped develop and maintain several successful multi-million dollar marketing programs including a specialized program for IZOD G’s ZONE:FX, and spearheaded graphics work for various special partnership projects with companies including Disney Golf Resorts, The Rose Bowl and The Orange Bowl. Cherish designed an e-marketing campaign that helped to virtually distribute an IZOD spot shown during Superbowl XL to over 1.5 million viewers. Cherish also carried out visual marketing efforts for IZOD G ROCKS concert series bands Black Crowes, Alice Cooper, and Huey Lewis.

In four years time, Cherish Flieder earned two BFA degrees.
