Get To Know Me

Cheri Presley is the Lead Integrator at Form Function Studio, where her strong foundation in accounting and auditing meets a lifelong passion for design. While her academic background is in accounting, with experience as an auditor, Cheri’s fascination with home layouts began early, collecting house plans from magazines and exploring decorating ideas. Today, she plays a vital role behind-the-scenes, keeping the studio running smoothly through financial management and human resources. Recently, Cheri has expanded her responsibilities into FF+E procurement, assisting with interior palettes, helping select cabinet hardware, paint colors, and furniture.  

Cheri’s interest in design is fueled by hands-on decorating projects, inspiration from HGTV and Pinterest, and her love for lighting as a transformative element in interiors. She believes design should reflect how clients want to live now and, in the future, and she enjoys helping select finishes and furnishings that bring those visions to life. Cheri’s favorite way to build connections with clients is by getting to know them personally, their dreams, goals, and lifestyle aspirations. In Form Function Studio’s open, collaborative environment, she values daily interaction and teamwork. With years of professional and life experience, Cheri serves as a mentor to the younger team members, offering guidance and perspective that enriches the studio’s culture. Her ability to combine operational excellence with a heart for people makes her an integral part of both the team and the community. 

Beyond the studio, Cheri finds inspiration in family life, exercise, and community involvement. Helping plan for Night to Shine, a special needs prom hosted by her local church for the past nine years. This event holds a special place in her heart, as her middle daughter was born with special needs. Seeing the joy and confidence it brings to guests and volunteers alike is one of Cheri’s most meaningful contributions.
