Background & Career
The goal during college was to break in to the advertising business, along the way Sarah discovered an interest in publication and print design. This interest led her to an unpaid internship with Milwaukee Magazine, dealing with various aspects of the publication including: working with art directors, designers, and editors to create supplement, print, and advertisement designs ('06). After graduating in 2007 Sarah worked as a production designer for a few months. After finishing various projects with Paine Communications Inc, Sarah moved into a different direction receiving intense sales and marketing training at Prestige Marketing and The RiCH Company. Her duties included: reading & writing documents, analyzing briefings, reports and business correspondence.
In spring of 2009 she started SB Creative, llc, a small graphic design firm north of downtown Milwaukee. At SB Creative, we provide small to medium business clients with the creation of marketing and print materials such as business cards, brochures, letterhead, envelopes, postcards, flyers, and logo design. We are available by project or may provide hourly rates for contract opportunities.
