Sarah is a designer based out of Beverly, MA. She has spent ten years working in children's publishing, developing hundreds of products from concept to completion.

Sarah was excellent to work with! She was responsive and flexible, and we couldn't be happier with her work. We look forward to collaborating with Sarah again on future children's book titles.

Sarah was a dream to work with! The cover turned out cuter than I could have hoped for and WAY better than I could have done myself (I tired!). I'm so grateful for her working with me to find the right look for the book, for how well she took my feedback, and how she worked to put together really the perfect look. I hope to use her again on future projects, and I whole-heartedly recommend her!
