hello!

my name is sara. thanks for visiting my portfolio today!!i consider myself a jack of most trades; i love to try new things and have dabbled pretty equally in design, illustration, and sewing. as far back as i can remember, i've always been in the process of making something. I CHOSE TO MAJOR IN DESIGN IN COLLEGE BECAUSE I FELT IT WAS A BROAD ENOUGH SUBJECT TO ENCAPSULATE MANY DIFFERENT AREAS. I GRADUATED FROM sva in may of 2023.im most inspired and influenced by anime, internet, and fandom culture. being involved in both since i was old enough to access a computer, and actively cosplaying and attending anime conventions since i was 11 years old, ive gained an intimate understanding and genuine love of these communities which i feel can be seen in much of my work.when not fervently working on something new, i'm probably showering my old little spaniel, willy, in crazy amounts of attention!!
