Born in Vietnam, senior Sherry Lu has been doodling from a young age. Lu moved to California for middle school, and Hawaii for high school.

Lu has lots of hobbies, such as singing, dancing, and playing the piano. There was one hobby that she focused on more. Drawing. Lu said there was no specific time that she started drawing, and that “we all just start doodling” from a young age.

However it was at around 7th grade that Lu started to take her drawing more seriously. She said there was a man named Henry who gave free drawing lessons, which was where she learned most of the things she knows now.

Lu entered a contest for designing the Pinion banner and won. She said her design didn’t take too long, and it was quite easy. However that’s not the only thing she’s done. Even after Lu won the contest, she has continued to come to the newsroom to ask if anyone needed artwork for anything. A lot of Lu’s work has been used for articles.
