Hi there! 👋🏻
I’m Sarah
I’m a Graphic Designer based in Birmingham, recently graduated from Loughborough University with a 2:1. I create human-centred digital designs as well as posters, business cards and flyers that aim to improve daily life and foster cross-cultural connection.
My past experience lends me the ability to communicate effectively across multiple divisions and collaborate efficiently in an agile working environment. That's why I would love to work with the next graphic team to design solutions that we are all proud of.
