I’m Sahra, a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Brooklyn who creates across illustration, animation, and design.

Originally from South Salem, NY, I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Columbia University with a double major in Film & Media Studies and English Literature.

I am now a full-time freelance graphic designer at the New York-based agency 19th & Park. Previously I was a senior graphic designer at Reese Witherspoon’s media company Hello Sunshine.
