about

Live-work-play is a design firm founded in 2001 by Sheri Newbold that synthesizes architecture and interior design. Live-work-play projects are approached with an intuitive, sustainable, thoughtful, fun and practical perspective. Each project is unique and live-work-play's philosophy encourages listening, clear communication and collaboration as crucial tools to achieve successful home and work environments in a cost-effective way. Sheri brings her varied experience to each project, and welcomes the opportunity to talk with you about single-family, multi-family and work projects.

Sheri Newbold arrived in Seattle in 1994. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she studied interior architecture along with drawing, sculpture and fiber arts, and is where she cultivated her intuitive understanding of color, space and light. Sheri subsequently earned her Master of Architecture degree from the University of Washington where she focused on construction materials and methods, participated in design/build projects, and explored architectural photography. Sheri loves to dance, particularly Argentine Tango. She believes tango embodies a philosophy she aspires to: there is no right or wrong step, just movement that connects people, place, and music.
