Sara has worked for acclaimed corporate companies and agencies like BBDO, Carmichael Lynch, Martin/Williams, Self Esteem Brands and Thorburn. She has created integrated, award-winning campaigns for consumer and higher education clients alike—rooted in creative strategy and translated into compelling, interdisciplinary expression. She also created the first Times Square experience for American Standard.

​
When not creating, Sara has more than a mild obsession with lipstick and fine wine (though not necessarily in that order). She is addicted to barre classes, the undiscovered Bahamas and was a foodie long before it was even a thing. Sara is the proud mother of two daughters and one German Shepherd who all threaten her sanity on a daily basis.
