I’m a Designer and Art Director with an enduring love for lettering and thoughtful visual storytelling. Born and raised in Kansas City, I’ve known I wanted to be a designer since I was 16 working at a little invitation shop — and I’ve been obsessed ever since.
I thrive on taking complex problems and distilling them into beautifully clear, intuitive design. My work lives where strategy and craft meet, always intentional, always aesthetically sharp (bonus points if it involves purple, or an excuse to hand-letter something).
A few things that define me outside of work: MU Tiger fan. Manatee enthusiast. Hot dogs are a food group. I live by “don’t worry about it until it’s a problem.” Proud co-owner of a small online Italian bakery inspired by my family’s heritage. And yes, my name is Sara, no H… the superior spelling!

And if you ever want to discuss manatees, proceed with caution. I will not stop.
