"I have plenty I want to learn and explore"

 

I’m Sarah Wagner. I’m a UI/UX Designer with a long history as a graphic designer. As an early B2B entrepreneur in the web design and print industries, I focused on creating innovative and intuitive designs for my clients and really understanding their specific needs. I was very focused on branding companies cohesively online and in print material–whether a startup or established business. That focus on the customer and their users is what naturally led my interest into more current trends with Interface Design and the User Experience behind it. I’m ultimately looking for a role that allows me to be creative and visually problem solve to elevate the end-user’s experience.

What I love in life; random facts:

• Sailing in the desert (there's something to make you wonder)!
• Tennis, Golf and Hiking and all things outsdoors and near water.
• Travel and forever learning about various cultures; especially indigenous cultures. Spent a year in Australia as a college student.
• Love art; painting, drawing and writing. Aspire to write song lyrics and master the guitar!
• I'm a board certified Reflexoglist and always on a quest to further understand disease, anatomy and physiology.
• Originally from Oregon, so I still love the forest, fir trees and a solid rainy day. And yes, I'm an Oregon Duck (yet a desert rat at heart).
• My interests never end. I'm a curious soul.
