Back to original languageAbout Sarah
UX UI designer and freelance illustrator based in Paris since 2011, I am a passionate and curious professional, driven by the desire to create original, unique graphic universes. My background has allowed me to collaborate with publishing players such as Gallimard, La Poule Qui Pond, Voce Verso, where I had the opportunity to bring to life illustrations for a variety of projects for young people or adults. I always have a real exaltation to imagine what will make each project unique, while remaining faithful to the DNA of the entities with which I collaborate.
In addition to illustration projects, I have carried out in parallel a professional career allowing me to acquire all the skills necessary for the management of a company's communication. Establishing a strategy, designing visuals and texts, respecting a graphic charter, programming and monitoring publications on networks as well as print manufacturing, are all steps that I like to embrace.
Finally, it is very naturally that my path has led to UX UI Design, and that I can now work with your teams to carry out UX and UI missions.
Guided by my passion for the world of image and creation and an enthusiastic motivation, I would be more than happy to carry out projects within your team, to take up new challenges, to participate in projects that have meaning.

- NotaCo-founderARTS AND CRAFTSSeptember 2013 - April 2019 (5 years and 7 months)Nota was a hybrid place: concept store around paper, gallery of illustrators•trices, and creation workshop.For 5 years, Nota has provided a path and space for creators with meaning and know-how, especially around paper, a noble material that never ceases to fascinate me.Thus, stationery creators, small designers and illustrators rubbed shoulders and gave a very special soul to this place nestled in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.2 years after the opening, I opened the creative workshops dedicated to adults and children, in order to transmit, a value that was dear to me.Throughout this entrepreneurial adventure, I learned to manage a shop, stocks, to sell, to set up and highlight products. I also created all the web and print visual communication.I organized events related to our various activities (vernissages, workshops, meetings, dedications...).I also learned to recruit my team, to work together, to keep our objectives in mind and always remain faithful to our DNA.After 5 years of rich and intense life, of learning at high speed, I wanted to return to the essence of my initial profession: creation, illustration.
