About
Sheri L Koetting is the Founder, Brand Strategist, and Creative Director of the NYC-based design firm MSLK where she merges innovative strategies with sophisticated design.
Sheri has developed a proven method for transforming subjective ideas into objective solutions while focusing on the target audience’s perspective. Today, this practice has become part of an industry-standard that MSLK has employed for clients such as Wigwam Mills, Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Sean John, Tumi, and L’Oreal.
Sheri is an artist, designer, and industry curator, writing frequently for various beauty industry publications about design’s impact on business. In 2002 she co-founded Spark Design Professionals, an active non-profit group of design business owners. She is also a co-founder and key moderator of Evolve Symposium, an intensive two-day, bi-annual event hosting design principals from around the country who want to learn vital business practices and advanced strategies.
What people are saying
- “Cosmoprof North America prides itself on offering a diverse conference program and proactively seeks out qualified speakers.

She was a pleasure to work with throughout and gave a stellar presentation to a sold-out room.”
-Simona Georgescu, Marketing Public Relations Executive, Cosmoprof North America - “Thank you for attending our Inaugural Franchise Conference and delivering such a powerful presentation. The research project results themselves were impressive but your delivery was also exceptional; you were so prepared, professional, and engaging! The feedback has been extremely positive. We look forward to working together on more projects to come.”

To say that Sheri is an asset to the organization is a grave understatement. Her fresh ideas and attention to detail help keep our organization on track.
“Over the years, Sheri has moderated numerous events for Spark. Whether it’s a panel of experts or one guest speaker, Sheri always maintains control of the event with poise and eloquence. She paces the event thoughtfully so that all speakers have their say, while artfully keeping everyone on topic. She is always able to extract from the speakers valuable information that’s relevant to our members—contributing to the success of the organization overall. We are lucky to have her!”

Sheri has been especially critical to the success of the Spark organization as her role as an experienced moderator and guest speaker for the organization on a variety of design business topics. Sheri knows how to facilitate discussions, drive the conversation to different areas, and provide additional value with her own studio’s experiences. I would highly recommend Sheri for any speaking engagement on design or design business matters.”
-Larissa Montecuollo, Partner / Creative Director at Trillion - “Evolve Symposium is a rare opportunity to learn and exchange best business practices, guided by two insightful individuals.
