Hey there. I'm Sarah, a versatile designer and art director based in Atlanta, Georgia.
Mapping the Stories of a City: TEDxUGA, 2013
I'm the go-to creative who loves injecting a dash of eccentricity into traditionally dry projects. Clients reach out when they need solutions to design-driven challenges—whether it's branding for nonprofits or demystifying complex planning jargon for the average person.
Over the years, my design journey has been a delightful ride, spanning from illustrations for notable names like Vox.com and Queen of Cream to crafting immersive event experiences for Facebook and Art Papers. I even dabble in the unconventional, like conceiving analog vending machines and data-driven living infographics.
When I collaborate with clients like Facebook, the Atlanta Regional Commission, or Midtown Alliance, I treat their projects as my own. Call it passion, but I genuinely relish making recommendations and pushing boundaries to exceed expectations.
But beyond my professional pursuits, you'll find me applying my creative mojo to personal projects—building Super Bowl "snack stadiums," curating urbanism field kits, and even publishing a newspaper on all things creative. Restlessness fuels my curiosity.
Since 2015, I've been steering my solo venture, gradually expanding my horizons. I've cultivated a trusted network of fellow creatives who share my vision and complement my clients' needs seamlessly.
I take immense pride in collaborating with clients spanning diverse industries, from tech to regional transit and local government. My work has graced the pages of Fast Company, Quipsologies, 99U, and even earned me a spot on HLN, where they hailed my snack stadium as a 'masterpiece!'
I've taken the stage as a keynote speaker and educator for respected organizations like the Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA), TEDx, and DesignMadison. Oh, and I'm a devoted mom to two remarkable pups named Cocoa and Peanut and one former porch cat named Lernie who all keep me company at my desk, along with a flourishing collection of plants.
I call Atlanta my hometown, a city that never ceases to inspire me. Let's connect and bring your creative visions to life!"
