“I’m dedicated to making our techno-world more accessible and easier to use for all.”

My name is Sara and I’m an Experience Designer at Vanguard with a background in Information management and Database design. From my time in the non-profit sector, I understand the need for (and power of) working collaboratively. I work to develop systems and experiences that provide users with support - not just accountability. With a passion for accessibility, OOUX and all things systems, I take a holistic approach to design that ensures stakeholder trust and the delivery of high-quality experiences.

I’m a big nerd, and can often be found spending my downtime reading, watching star trek or being outdoors.

Nice to meet you!
