THOMPSON
I’m Sarah Thompson — a UX & graphic designer passionately creating digital experiences and solutions with eye-catching designs.
SCROLL
I specialize in UX/UI for websites, video games, VR technologies, and mobile applications. I also specialize in branding, layout design, advertisements, and project management. However, I am never afraid of a challenge. I would love to work with you!
I am currently pursuing a BFA with a concentration in User Experience Design and a Graphic Design Certificate from Western Kentucky University. During my time at WKU, I have explored every avenue of design possible. From being the Creative Director of a student publication to being a UX designer in the XR Lab to completing freelance projects, my time has been spent doing what I love. I am passionate about creating fun, engaging designs.
