Thanks for checking out my profile. I can't wait to work together! Here's a little about me. Over 12 years in production, I've created successful outcomes for numerous clients across narrative, educational, and marketing-based projects. Using audio and visual elements to craft an engaging narrative. I'm more than simply an editor or motion designer; I use analysis and insight into a project's target audience to develop content and styles that will resonate with that specific audience and elicit a response—maximizing the impact of your productions. To me, the psychology behind how a story is told and who it's targeted towards is as important an element as any other. I look forward to fulfilling all your post-production and consulting needs. If you have any questions on a project or are looking for where to start on one, I'd love to set up a call to discuss your organization's specific needs. Thanks! Ryan

Hello! My name is Sarah. I'm a full-time experienced graphic designer. I've also been a writing tutor, studio photographer, and magazine photo editor. All of my experiences lead me to doing what I love most -- creating and designing in multiple fields of specialization; however, my area of expertise lies in Powerpoint and Google Slide Decks. I also really enjoy logo creation and accompanying branding. My goal is to help you discover what it is about your company that makes it unique, and then help you share your message through logos, branding, lead magnets, eBook layout, presentation design and more.
