Hey, I’m Sarah.
I turn complex concepts into irresistible learning adventures, using storytelling & data to engage minds and drive results that make CFOs smile.
My Approach to Learning Experience Design
Collaborative
The best learning experiences come from true partnership with stakeholders, subject matter experts, and learners, where diverse perspectives shape solutions that address real business needs.
Iterative
My design process embraces ongoing refinement through frequent feedback loops, ensuring we build, test, learn, and improve, rather than pursuing perfection in a single attempt.
Data-Driven
I measure what matters, using performance metrics to formulate learning objectives and validate program effectiveness, continuously optimizing experiences that deliver meaningful business impact.
Story-based
Stories aren't just emotional hooks—they're neural rehearsals that prime your brain for on-the-job performance, so when learners face challenges in real life, their neurons fire up and say, "We've been here before!"
What Do People Say About Sarah?
“At the time Sarah joined my team, I’d been slowly recruiting her for a year, to take the leap to our team and be the first dedicated leader for our Learning Experience Designers.
“I needed someone with a deep mastery in creating dynamic, scalable learning experiences that focus on the root of an enablement need, to deliver real business impact. And I needed them to also somehow be an empathetic, performance driven leader who could develop the team both professionally and creatively. Sarah was the perfect fit!
“Whether you are looking for someone to get hands on designing and delivering learning experiences, or take a strategic lead creating frameworks for discovery, design, and learning impact measurement, or do all of that while also leading your team, you’d be lucky to have Sarah join the team!”
Carisa Change, Director, Global Product Success, Salesforce
“Sarah ensures that she understands the high-level theme and the nuts and bolts.
“This perspective allows her to be both a generator and great self-evaluator, which enables her to quickly navigate the potential flaws/benefits in architecting a solution.
“Sarah’s definition of a good day is one where she went ‘above and beyond,’ which is literally every single day. She is the glue between the product development team, services, and our customers, and has taken the lead in positioning education as a necessity and critical component to landing Socrata Connected Government Cloud [a significant pivot in the direction of the business].”
Ben Varon, Director, Client Training and Support, Data & Insights Division at Tyler Technologies

Jill Hutchinson, Senior Learning Experience Designer, Salesforce
“Sarah is a thoroughly impressive education professional due to her ability to think holistically and her dedication to continuous improvement.
“Sarah’s work shows a keen eye for detail, and beyond that, a growth mindset that is focused on deeper understanding and long-term change. I have seen Sarah mull over ideas, pause to consider their impact, and then eloquently discuss the optimum path forward. I really enjoyed working with Sarah not only because she is super sharp and capable, but also because she has a robust understanding of how to help learners achieve their immediate and long-term goals. Sarah is an educator through and through, and she shares her wisdom collaboratively which allowed me to learn and grow from her guidance. I remember asking Sarah for help and not only would she provide me with answers and direct help, she would also provide me with resources and techniques so that I could be empowered in the future. I would not be the educator I am today without her insight, support, and so much more.”
