“It has been my great privilege to worked with, led and mentored Sara in direct and indirect ways for more than 10 years while we were both at Fossil Group in Dallas. Sara came to Fossil as I recall, first in the capacity of a young designer right out of college. I had the opportunity to observe as she grew and developed as a designer, then Sr. Designer, Art Director, Sr. Art Director and eventually Creative Director for the Michele Brand. She worked on a number of brands and had a number of assignments. Through all of this, I observed Sara mature as a competent, confident and proficient creative professional that understands the dynamics of business and how proper brand and design maintenance can creative positive results and fuel growth in business. Sara worked at Fossil from a time when the company was moderately sized through a period when it had reached its apex of 3 billion in sales and then for a period of decline. This is an important attribute of Sara's experience that need consideration, because she as seen and experienced prosperous and very challenging times in a corporate environment and has the perspective of what worked and what didn't. This is invaluable experience. It is also very rare to find a designer that has had the exposure to the variety of design disciplines that Sara has. She is equally comfortable creating brand strategies as well all developing the graphic elements of the campaign, including designing product, packaging, marketing elements, art directing photo shoots - all aspects of CPG cycle related to creating and promoting a branded product line. If anything I am surprised that she has not been snatched up by some major CPG company or management company due to her vast and valuable experience. If that's not enough, Sara is genuinely a beautiful person. She has strong character, integrity, is a self starter, good administrator and a delight to work with. If you are looking for a design/creative professional that is going to add value and knowledge to your organization, Sara is an excellent candidate and I would highly recommend her consideration. ”
