I’m Sarah, a user experience designer & artist with a passion for storytelling & character motivation.

I lean towards projects that stimulate me to improve my problem solving skills, and utilize illustration & storytelling within UI.

Rather than going to art school, I changed my plans & ended up graduating with a B.Sc. in Informatics & Computer Science. I finished my Master’s degree whilst working full time in university, & learning art and UX design independently.

After years of intense work, I was finally ready to travel and work with different people and do what I love most - create.

My Values

Integrity and Empathy

It’s amazing to meet people from all cultures and walks of life. No matter where we’re from, we should learn to listen before we speak. People will respect someone who is kind yet true to themselves, and honest with everyone. After all, the only thing we take with us after we’re done is our genuine deeds & reputation.

Creativity

When you’re someone who’s constantly bombarded with ideas, you have to have discipline, good time management, dedication & passion to your craft to see them come to fruition. The truth of the matter is that creative work requires you to spend a lot of time by yourself, & you have to be okay with that. However, this creativity means little if you don’t know how to connect with people, & understand how they work and think. Creativity needs empathy to be worthwhile.

Patience

Teaching & graduate studies both taught me how to stick to things & be patient. While I would argue it’s not always a good idea to stick to something just because you’ll ‘feel bad’ if you don’t see it to completion, it definitely teaches you to look at what’s far ahead & not what’s directly below your feet.

Humility

Treat others the way you want to be treated, and never be so arrogant that you forget that any goodness in your life is never solely your work alone. No one is an island, & no one respects the arrogant & entitled.

As for my hobbies, I love hiking, traveling, photography, reading, and playing Nintendo games.
