Hey there! I’m Sarah – a web developer, digital designer, content creator, facilitator and multifaceted creative professional with a keen eye for visual communication.
Freelance graphic, editorial & web design
With a BA qualification in Multimedia Journalism before moving into the design field, I have a keen eye for written and visual communication. I’ve worked on newsdesks and studio productions of audio and video ads covering voiceover and sound. Following my MA in Art at Goldsmiths, I ventured further into creative production including compiling and editing an artist book series and sub-editing books by independent authors for publishing overseeing various aspects from cover design to layout, formatting and digital publication.
I have a wide-ranging set of skills in Creative Media from photo editing and image manipulation to filming and editing short shareable clips for social media. I can also create in-demand customised Zoom video backgrounds for professional use or virtual social events. For vloggers, I can create a batch of eye-catching HD YouTube image thumbnails to help maximise audience reach. I also design leaflets and posters including book covers, event e-posters and printed invitations for occasions such as weddings and funerals. If you already have a website or online platform and want to improve user experience, I can work with you to maximise your reach with effective design. I can competently work independently – my usual MO but I can also work collaboratively within a team for large productions or to tie up project ends.
I have worked with grassroots charity organisations on web development, social media graphics, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), content generation, and original content writing/copywriting. I have also designed and facilitated workshops in creative media, photography and filmmaking with clients such as Eye4Change and Southwark Council. With a writing background, I have also been involved in bid writing, funding applications, project evaluation and report writing.
As an independent freelance creative, my turnaround rate can be very swift with a high level of proficiency in standard industry software and productivity tools. I originally trained on Adobe Dreamweaver for website design but now primarily work with WordPress. For photo and video editing, I use Photoshop and Final Cut Pro.
