Hi, I'm Sara.
I’m a New York based design leader with over ith 15+ years turning digital chaos into customer delight across ecommerce and finance.
Equal parts strategist and doer— building high-performing teams while delivering solutions that actually move the needle. Known for wrangling diverse stakeholders, cutting through complexity, and inspiring innovative thinking that make both customers and executives say 'yes, please.
My leadership philosophy centers on growth—both for the business and for my team members. I believe in creating environments where creativity flourishes alongside accountability, where taking smart risks is encouraged, and where every challenge becomes an opportunity for professional development. I lead by example, rolling up my sleeves while empowering others to shine.
When I'm not working you can usually find me in my home ballet studio or at the beach, most likely toting a giant iced coffee and a snack. These moments of balance fuel my creativity and remind me why design matters—it's about creating experiences that make people's everyday lives more delightful, just like that perfect combination of sunshine, sand, and caffeine does for me.
