About
Hi. I’m Sara.
I’m a user experience designer specializing in user/usability research and interaction design with over 8 years of hands-on experience creating digital ecosystems, large-scale responsive e-commerce, and corporate websites, and mobile and web applications.
I started my career as a graphic and motion designer in Boston, MA. My love for travel and learning brought me to Milan, Italy in 2015 where I received a Master in Interaction Design degree from Domus Academy. Since graduating, I've moved back to the USA and now work as a freelance/contract UX & product designer.
I believe the best thing about being a designer is having the opportunity to change someone's day by solving their problem, telling them a great story, or simply making them feel understood.
Interested in working together? Feel free to drop me a line and say hello!
Let’s work together
