    About Sarah

    I'm an illustrator and graphic designer based in Dundas, Ontario, with a Bachelor of Illustration from Sheridan College and a graphic design course from Durham College.

    I started out as a junior graphic designer at O.C. Tanner, preparing designs for client approval and manufacturing. Since then I've taken on freelance work — signage, promotional materials, packaging, illustrations and custom portraits — alongside years in customer-facing retail, including fabric sales at Fabricland.

    That mix means I care about how things look and how they work for the person using them.
