I'm Sarah.
I tell stories through aesthetics.
I am a Mid-Western girl who moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn as soon as I could. I am a libra, which basically means I was born to work in the arts. I have a soft spot for 90s music. Always on the hunt for the perfect burger, but you better keep those pickles away from me!
I have worked in almost all aspects of the creative process in the fashion and home goods industry from designing prints and embroideries to styling shoots for campaigns and e-commerce to buying and merchandising my own retail store. I have a knack for creating the perfect composition which extends into every other aspect of life.
