About Sarah

Started off in Photoshop and now I’m here

I’m a multidisciplinary designer and creative leader based in Washington, D.C., with over 18 years of experience turning complex ideas into thoughtful digital solutions.

My journey began in graphic design, evolved through web design and marketing, and ultimately led me to the world of user experience and product design. From building my first Geocities site in the ’90s (complete with blinking GIFs) to leading enterprise UX efforts today, I’ve always been driven by curiosity and a love for the web.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in design agencies, as an in-house designer, and as a freelancer—each experience shaping how I solve problems and collaborate across disciplines. I’ve built accessible, user-centered products, contributed to scalable design systems, and even explored the technical side with some hands-on software development.

Today, I lead the UX design team at a $1B company, where I help shape digital experiences that balance business goals with real human needs. Some highlights from my current role can be found here:

I also spent 6+ as an adjunct faculty member at Towson University, sharing my passion for design with the next generation of creatives. Read more about my teaching experience.

Whether I’m refining a design system, wireframing a new feature, or mentoring junior designers, I bring a balance of creativity, strategy, and systems thinking to every challenge.

Let’s create something meaningful.
