Sarah is a Creative Catalyst, Visual Storyteller, illustrator, and keynote speaker based out of Portland, Oregon. She introduced innovative facilitation methods inside Intel Corporation, a Fortune 500 technology giant. A self-taught graphic recorder and graphic facilitator, Sarah loves to spark and encourage creative and visual thinking in others. Her current mission is to reignite and foster creativity within others, and she loves hosting speaking engagements, workshops, and her creativity and play podcast, “The Playful Creative” to work towards this goal. 

Sarah creates Hand-illustrated explanatory and marketing videos and graphics on a variety of topics, including technology, policy, and strategy. 

One of Sarah’s favorite creative facilitation methods is LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. The uniqueness and engagement of the methodology is the perfect match for her social, creative, and playful spirit. Sarah loves designing thoughtful and effective sessions that yield the desired outputs – and gets very excited about finding new ways to apply LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. As a bonus, spending so much time with LEGO® bricks is earning her mad-building skills that will impress her toddler when he gets older.

Outside of work Sarah enjoys exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her two children, traveling to new places, and terrifying her neighborhood and co-workers on Halloween. It’s pretty easy to tell which house is hers in October.
