Hello, I am Sarah, a Senior Design Manager with six years of experience currently leading a team of designers and researchers at Microsoft Azure. I am passionate about simplifying complex tasks through intuitive design, creating products that enhance the lives of users.
Prior to my focus on design, I worked as a software engineer at Epic Systems, where I developed iOS applications for nurses. I have also gained experience as a photojournalist, serving as an award-winning photographer and video producer for my university's newspaper and volunteering as a concert photographer for Seattle's KEXP radio station.
With a diverse background in computer science, design, and photojournalism, I bring a unique perspective to design challenges. I apply my understanding of human behavior and product development with creative problem-solving and technical expertise to create meaningful technology that brings clarity, elegance, and delight to users.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking and exploring the Pacific Northwest with my camera. I also enjoy biking, attending Broadway shows, hosting dinner parties for friends, reading, and planning my next overseas adventure.
