It' Sara A product designer

About Me

Thriving in ambiguity. Delivering measurable impact.

Passion for the why

I’m passionate about understanding the “why” behind human behavior and using design to thoughtfully shape both people’s experiences and the systems they interact with

Ownership / zero-to-one

I step in fully and take ownership of building something from the ground up

Craft → emotions

With a strong eye for typography, color, motion, and layout, I use design to tell stories and evoke emotions—because great design isn’t just seen, it’s experienced.

What My Mentees Say

What My Mentees Say

“I had a fantastic session with Sara! She's an experienced designer who offers clear, practical advice that helped me improve my portfolio significantly. What I appreciated most is how she guides you thoughtfully without imposing her own opinions—she respects your design voice while still being direct and honest with feedback. Her approach is encouraging, insightful, and constructive. Highly recommend connecting with her if you're looking for actionable feedback and genuine mentorship.”

Product Designer

“Sara was one of the rare mentors on ADPlist who wasn't afraid to be honest with her advice and feedback on my work in the most constructive way. I walked away seeing design differently and treating components in my portfolio much more intentionally. Thank you as well for putting my complaints about my job into perspective and confirming that it's a prevalent issue in this field. ”
