Hello, I'm Sara ~

I believe that great design has the power to transform lives, especially when technology works in harmony with human needs. As a Product Designer, this drives me to find the synergies to between clients, teams, and users to deliver digital products that delight users and elevate brands.

With a background in fashion merchandising, I have refined my skills in creative ideation, project management, strategic decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration. This experience has also provided me with a deep understanding of the culture and fashion trend landscape.

I thrive on utilizing my unique perspective and skills to create products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also meaningful, inclusive, and impactful.

BACKGROUND

Part 1. The 2010s

📍 Boston, New York City, Seattle

Learning: While studying at Northeastern University, I began building my professional skill set through three 6-month co-ops on the marketing teams at The Boston Globe's "Design New England" (RIP), Time Inc.'s "Travel + Leisure" and "Food & Wine", and Am*zon Web Services.

Along the way, I crystalized my love for all things at the intersection of culture and technology. I continued exploring this interest through my graphic design minor coursework.

Part 2. The 2020s

📍 New York City

Learning: Craving an opportunity to combine my love of innovative design with technology, I completed Designlab's UX Academy and built the foundations of my UX/UI experience.

Life in the 2020s has also taught me endless lessons about the value of community, mutual aid, and working collectively, which I bring to my everday work.
