Hi, I’m Sara
I’m a professional creative with formal education in printmaking and design paired with an intense curiosity of human behavior and a passion for designing meaningful experiences in digital and physical space.
When I’m not constructing wire frames, putting the "flow" in screen flows or gussying up mock ups, you can find me in one of three places: the kitchen, on the golf course or on my motorcycle.

Testimonials
“Sara is a talented designer who is able to produce high-quality work with a modern, forward-thinking style. She has a strong understanding of user experience and is able to communicate that through her designs, which are intuitive, as well as aesthetically appealing and visually engaging.
Working with Sara has been a pleasure. She is able to accept feedback without becoming defensive, while also being able to respectfully promote her opinion or push for what she feels is best. Her work at Aha has been instrumental in shaping the branding and experience of the product. She has been an invaluable member of my team, and I would gladly welcome the opportunity to work with Sara again.”
— Rob Borja, Director, Product Design, Meta
“Sara is THE manager/designer that more than any company can ask for. Sara is creative, brilliant and multi-talented. Unlike any typical managers, she works closely with you and make sure you are enjoying what you are doing, learning new skills and brainstorming with projects to make sure that you will get the right start. She is an amazing mentor/manager and also a brilliant colleague to collaborate on UX/Visual when needed.
Sara managed to work with me seamlessly despite we are working in two different time zone. She would make time to meet with me on a regular basis to go over design, progress and collaborate innovative ideas.
Working with Sara has been an absolute pleasure. There is no doubt in my mind that I would work with Sara again in the future. (Hopefully in the same time zone next time!)”
