Sarah Omen

Graphic Designer & Fine Artist

Eau Claire, WI, USA
I'm a self-starter with a variety of interests, who enjoys learning and exploring. As a creative, I bring innovation and critical thinking skills to the things I do. I stay up-to-date on the latest trends and relevant technologies. I thrive when being challenged to create for a concept. Whether representing a pre-existing brand or defining a new one, pulling design elements together to solve a visual puzzle is an addicting and exhilarating process for me.

I have excellent communication skills with the ability to follow directions completely to ensure the work perfectly meets your needs. I also have the patience to make changes if something is not quite right or if the final design is not exactly what was expected. I strive to bring beauty, quality and harmony to the world!
