A windswept and multi-passionate creative
Welcome. I’m Sarah, the Up the Hill Creative.
Full of ideas, surrounded by chaos, creating in any spare moment I get.
Creating makes me happy, as does the sound of my children’s laughter, visiting fantails and those unexpected memories that make you smile. I’m a windswept and multi-passionate creative, offering heartfelt and thoughtful illustration, photography and design services.
I dabble in marketing, love branding, pencil lines, a great story and bouncing creative ideas. I have major imposter syndrome, despite over 13 years working as a graphic designer and marketing coordinator.
I love layout design - documents and websites, organising information and making it flow, branding and all the little details. I’m drawn to illustration and photography, creating with sentimentality and nostalgic stories, and designing with purpose and meaning.
I want to illustrate gifts for you, and get them printed onto tees. I want to support your small business by creating a surface pattern, an illustration, or helping you with your branding and showing up online.
I live loudly, smile broadly, and can’t wait to chat to you.
Lets make something beautiful.
