HI, I’M SARA
Nice to meet you! I’m a web designer, digital marketer, artist, musician, gamer, cat-mom and many, many other things. Welcome to my website! Stick around, hang out, and learn more about who I am and some of the things I can do.
WEB DESIGN
My current favs floating around the web:
OTHER WORKS
Other notable projects I love:
Unusual Articles
I graduated from college during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to this, nobody was able to attend my senior art show. I thought that my peers’ thesis work deserved to be seen, so I volunteered to create a website to show off all of our work. You can browse the website here!
P.S. You’ll find some pretty neat art by myself and my twin sister (just be warned it might not all be PG)!
Dig It!
I created digital content including social media posts, posters/fliers, photography, documentation videos and a website for the community garden on campus. My videos were found on Facebook by Good Morning America. GMA reached out to me and we worked together on a video that was featured on GMA’s website and social media pages. I provided the footage for the segment. It was a really cool experience and I’m glad our little garden was able to receive the attention it deserves!
App Design 101
I was an Upward Bound student when I was in high school. In the summers, I still return to Upward Bound to teach special mini workshops during art exploration nights. I hosted a session about app design, and taught students how to use the popular prototyping tool Figma. I built App Design 101 in Figma as an interactive example for the students. You can explore the prototype here!
DIGISCAPES
Digiscapes (short for Digital Landscapes) is a series of digitally-drawn landscapes I made during college. I submitted these works to an open call hosted by artrepeneur.com, and was selected to be featured! I still look back fondly on these pieces (though some of my opinions that I discussed during the podcast have definitely shifted dramatically since then).
Rare Cats
I love everything about toys, so I wanted to try my hand at creating my own collectible. Rarecats are a series of collectible stickers which I 100% designed, printed, and packaged by hand. I even was able to sell some locally, which was pretty cool!
