About Me.

After 16 years in a public library, sparking a love for learning and stories in young people as a Children's Librarian, I followed my passion for visual design and started my own website design business. My unique background as both a public educator and visual designer, as well as my insatiable love of learning, make me a perfect instructional designer and developer in the field of Learning and Development.

Sarah's talent for storytelling, active listening, and transforming user experiences has always inspired me. So, it comes as no surprise that she excelled in creating a series of modules to help our staff navigate the challenging task of keeping kids safe in the library. Sarah's ability to meet every deadline, design a curriculum we couldn't define, and create a welcoming learning environment around a difficult topic is truly remarkable. We could not have created this training without her!
