I’m Sarah. Lately, I’m often hidden behind my camera or otherwise indulging my muse.

This hasn’t always been the case.

In a former life, I led interior design projects for some of the top interior design and architecture firms in Chicago. Like many artists just starting out, I craved a challenging and collaborative environment, where my creativity would blossom. Just like so many of you, I found the reality to be a bit more complicated.

Did I work on creative projects? Yes. In one such project, I was in charge of a staff of 20 and managing over 1 million square feet of office space redesign, furniture redesign, construction and move coordination of more than 3,000 employees. For another, I was chosen to design a learning environment from start to finish. Not only did I have a project that allowed my creativity to show, architectural photographer, Hedrich Blessing, photographed it.

I also worked long hours, often 90 or 100 hours in a week. I moved up very quickly, but I never had the space for my own creativity and art exploration.

Does that sound familiar?

As artists, we gravitate towards creatively challenging work environments, only to find they drain our energy.

That’s why I now dedicate my work to helping artists and creative people in all fields carve out space in their day. I help you allow time for your own creative explorations — no matter how many hours a week you work.
