Gerri Brioso

Gerri Brioso is a graphic artist, animator, and producer who was the graphic artist for Sesame Street from seasons 5 through 16, as well as on the specials Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and Don't Eat the Pictures. Brioso won a Daytime Emmy Award for her work on Sesame Street in 1983, and was nominated for several others including a Primetime Emmy for her graphics work on Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.
Teaming with musicians and fellow CTW alumni Richard and Paul Freitas, Brioso created the computer graphics and artwork for games in the Computer Gallery at Sesame Place. Along with writer and marketing director Peter Sauerbrey (another CTW alumnus), Brioso and the Freitas brothers formed The Dovetail Group, one of the first video game developers to specialize in music-based games. Both Brioso and the Dovetail Group received credit for the on-screen illustrations on the 1987 The Sesame Street Crayon computer game Numbers Count.
The group also collaborated on a pair of Sesame Street inserts, "School Is Cool" (one about , the other about ), which inspired the Dovetail Group's main video game characters "The Jazz Scats."
Among the Dovetail Group's later projects was the CTW-produced video series MATHmatazz, which Brioso directed, and with Richard Freitas (whom she married), co-produced and wrote songs for.
