about

Hi, I'm Sara 👋 a product designer who lives for the details: UI, design systems, and animation.

I've been designing products since 2016, across fashion, internal tools, client-facing products, analytics dashboards, IoT, and more. Since 2020 I've worked in the agency world on internal and external-facing products across IPG's agencies, while overseeing their design system, Splash.

what I do best

01

UI design

Clear, polished interfaces, from early wireframes and flows through to high-fidelity prototypes.

02

Design systems

I helped lead the redesign of Splash, now used across 30+ products and 22+ agencies, with new client white labels created weekly.

03

Animation

Motion that guides, gives feedback, and adds a little delight.

Outside of work

In my free time I nerd out on psychology literature 🧠, board games 🎲, emerging tech 👩🏻‍💻, and whatever craft I'm into at the moment (lately, embroidery 🪡). Most days end with a long walk with my dog, Bao

you found Bao! 🐶

Say hello

let's make something together
