I’m Sarah, a multidisciplinary designer who loves turning ideas into thoughtful, visually engaging work. With a BFA in Graphic Design and experience across branding, digital, print, motion, packaging, and creative production, I enjoy bringing ideas from the first sketch to the final piece. My work includes award-winning campaigns, brand identities, packaging, websites, and stop-motion projects, including a recent campaign that earned Best of Show and Gold at the 2026 AAF Fresno American Advertising Awards. I’m naturally curious, detail-oriented and always looking for the next creative problem to solve.
