Profile
Hi! I'm Sara, a dedicated graphic designer from Helsinki with a solid background in customer service. ​I enjoy creating visually engaging content across various mediums—from videos and digital graphics to print materials. I focus on thoughtful design and clear communication, making sure each project not only looks appealing but also serves its purpose effectively.
​
​I’m currently studying Visual Communications Design at LAB Institute of Design and Fine Arts, building on my earlier Graphic Design studies at HEO Community School. These experiences, combined with my Bachelor of Business Administration in marketing, give me a creative and strategic perspective on every project I take on.
I thrive in environments that value purposeful work and a warm sense of community, and I aim to contribute positively to every team I join. I firmly believe that friendliness is a key ingredient for professional success—a mindset that has earned me positive feedback and reinforced my belief in the power of a supportive work environment.

Fred Karlsson, Kåska
Sara is incredible to work with. A talented professional with an eye for detail. Sara makes sure she understands the brief and always delivers on time.
Jenna Heino, Mamamani
Working with Sara was a great experience. She listens carefully and caught my vision right away. I was happy to see many brilliant options that I would have never figured out myself and her talent to find the right colors made my life easier.
