Hi, I’m Sarah.
I’m a UX/UI designer in Cincinnati, Ohio, with nearly eight years in digital product work. I started out writing front-end code in React, and over time grew into design, most recently shaping UX for SaaS products.
I like the place where design and code meet: the system underneath a screen, and the details that make it feel considered. I use AI tools every day in my design and development work, and I pick up new tools quickly.
Outside of work, I’m a mom of three, and my favorite thing is time with my kids. When I get a quiet moment I’m usually reading or playing video games. I even designed an app to keep track of my reading.
