/ A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Sara.

I’m a multidisciplinary designer

I’m originally from Louisiana but been calling Dublin home for the last decade. During my years in Dublin, I’ve been lucky enough to work as an in-house designer in both B2B and B2C marketing, helping to drive meaningful growth for big brands in the travel and food tech industries.
 
Through my years of experience and further education, I have built a multifaceted skill set ranging from Web Design, UX & UI Design, Creative and Art Direction, Product Design and Visual Design to even eCRM management, copywriting, photography, and social media management.
 
I’m currently working as the Senior Digital Designer at CarTrawler helping to deliver strategic, scalable, and world-leading product and brand collateral and leading the design vision for the company. I have also recently received an MSc in UX Design from the Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology.
 
In my spare time you can find me travelling to destinations far and wide, going to concerts and music festivals, boxing, or binging a Netflix sho.
