HELLO I'M SARA
I LOVE CREATING THINGS
ABOUT
ABOUT ME
Thank you for visiting my portfolio. I am a Southern
New Hampshire based print designer and I have been working in this industry since 1997.
My main focus is all things print: flyers, brochures, ads, student testing booklets, catalogs, magazines, etc. I am also branching out into some digital and illustration projects.
WHAT I'VE DONE
You may have seen my work in newspapers, magazines, stores, phone books across the country, and even on your feet! I have enjoyed working at apparel and footwear companies, such as Puma, Timberland and Work n' Gear. I have designed for a few advertising agencies, a phone book company,a newspaper, office supply company, and an educational testing facility. For five years, I was the lead designer for a tourist guide company that published two annual guide maps, a monthly magazine and an annual guide for Salem, MA's Halloween celebrations.
WHAT I DO
As you can see, I am a
well-rounded designer. I can adapt quickly to any situation and am equally happy on a Mac or PC. I am fast, fun, and flexible, and I play well with others. Please browse through my portfolio and feel free to email me with comments or questions. I am looking for a nice company to settle down with!

This is an example of Staples's 'Make More Happen' photo grid branding. I redesigned the entire Canadian tabloid project into the new brand standard design once the project was brought back from an outside vendor.
Here is another example of a Canadian tabloid cover. This was a compilation image, where I had to insert brand name products into an existing photo.
This is a newspaper ad for an art gallery in Marblehead, MA. They wanted to showcase their beautiful pieces into a simple, yet visually compelling ad.
This flyer is part of a series of flyers I redesigned to have a cohesive look.
These flyers were placed in a rack together, so I wanted to make sure they looked similar yet be able to stand on their own as different sales tools.
This website was designed for a testing strip company. The white box the woman is pointing to holds a video using my tester illustration in the next image.
This illustration was done in Photoshop and shows the different parts of the tester and testing strips. The bottom images were used in an animation in the website video.
This brochure is an update for the oldest lighting company in the US. They wanted to keep the nostalgia of their old brochure, yet update the look for the modern buyer.
For this spread, I kept some of their 'vintage' illustrations and updated them with a new elegant look and customized photography.
