"Sara graduated from MVCTC in 2013 and the University of Cincinnati in 2018. As an environmental graphic designer she collaborates with architects and interior designers to create branded experiences for some of the worlds biggest brands’ workplaces and experiences. Along with her graphic design career, Sara and a small team from Gensler responded to the plywood covered businesses around their city by starting Color Speaks, a volunteer initiative to collaborate with local businesses to flood our cities with color—hoping to give hope and encouragement to passerby’s during the pandemic. They also developed a step by step guide book to teach others how easy it is to paint a mural in their own city. So far they’ve painted 17 murals in 6 cities, with more exciting plans for spreading color in 2021."

"After graduating MVCTC, I attended Sinclair Community College for the Visual Communications program. I was very active in my time at Sinclair as a student ambassador and student worker for the Strategic Marketing & Communication department. As a part of that department, I worked on developing and implementing its marketing, advertising, social media, branding, and brand awareness. My current job requires creating all logos, graphics, and marketing material for the City of Fairborn. I assist in refining the City's online presence and works as part of the City marketing team to drive the digital marketing and social media agenda. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, I created graphics and posters to communicate important information through fun illustrations. I am currently taking classes through Franklin University to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Interactive Media."
