Sherene Strausberg is a unique creative combining her experience in film, music, and sound engineering with graphic design and illustration to create animated videos for her clients at the company she founded, 87th Street Creative. Having won a national composition competition in high school she was awarded a scholarship to the prestigious Indiana University School of Music, where she completed two bachelor’s degrees in four years. Film scores she wrote in her first career as a film composer have been heard on AMC, Spike TV, and Netflix. She won two awards from Graphic Design USA as a graphic designer for Jewish National Fund. She animated and scored her latest passion project, the short animated film “Cool For You,” which has been accepted to film festivals worldwide. Recent clients of 87th Street Creative have included Walmart, American Express, and Amazon Web Services.

Through the power of music, sound effects, and moving images, Sherene knew at 16 she wanted to be a film composer. After 10 years of pursuing that while also working as a broadcast engineer at National Public Radio, she changed careers to graphic design and then to motion design. Motion graphics returned Sherene to her true passion, sound and moving images together, which can immerse the viewer/listener. Combining this with her desire to work with clients who believe in sustainability and social justice, 87th Street Creative has worked with nonprofits and businesses that help make the world a better place.
