About me

Hi!! I'm Sara :)
I'm a jack-of-all-trades designer and an MTSU alumni. I like to try my hand at anything, from sewing to game development, but I'm especially fond of digital illustration. I'm from Egypt, raised in TN, so I'm fluent in 1.65 languages!
I want to focus my career on cohesive brand systems and illustration. I have experience in all these softwares:

I also know HTML and CSS and coded this website from scratch. I've earned the Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Indesign certification on Linkedin Learning.
1 engineering major + 1 horrible semester = 1 art major with a strange transcript

The Raven Cycle

February 2022
A series of 4 book covers I made for Maggie Stiefvater's series The Raven Cycle. I felt like their current covers (shown in the last image) didn't properly convey the storytelling and magical feeling of this series. I combined mystical and natural elements of the story in bold illustrations. Made in Photoshop and InDesign.

Carrots

November 2022
A PSA poster series about the common myth that carrots make your eyesight better. I represented the myth conceptually. Because of the origin of the myth, I researched WW2-era propaganda for the style. I unified the posters with their color scheme and repeated motifs. Made in Illustrator.

Best Buddies annual report

March 2022
An annual report redesign for Best Buddies. I chose not to add any images and instead expanded the style of the Best Buddies logo done by Keith Haring. Because the goal of the organization is to help the IDD community, I chose dyslexic-friendly fonts and tried to avoid information overload. Made in Indesign.

SPARK

April 2023
A space travel brand and website that wants to spark a passion for science. You can view the Figma prototype here. Usually, space-themed designs are dark, with emphasis on sleekness and speed, but I designed this brand light and friendly. I used + and × for stars, as a wink at the educational theme. Made in Illustrator and Figma.

Design Manifesto

December 2021
An interactive website representing my design process and “manifesto.” You can visit it here. This was my first time doing web design, so I did tons of research. I had to make a few compromises but managed to make a website I'm proud of. Made from scratch in VS code and hosted on Github.
I recently updated it and cleaned the code a LOT with what I've learned about web design.
