About

Hi, I'm Sarah.

A designer who turns research and information into work that's clear and easy to use.

Sarah Somsavath

I design across mediums, but it all comes back to one thing: making information clear.

I'm a designer based in Austin, Texas. I studied Industrial Design at Iowa State University (B.I.D., cum laude), where I learned to approach every project the same way — start with research, understand the people I'm designing for, and shape what I find into something clear and usable.

Today I work across print, product, UX/UI, branding, and graphic design. What ties it together is information design: I love taking dense, messy research and turning it into infographics, layouts, and interfaces that are accurate, calm, and easy to read.

I also bring real production discipline. I've spent time on the print floor — color-matching, prepping press-ready CMYK files, and hitting daily deadlines — so I sweat the details that make a piece both correct and beautiful.

Outside of design, you'll find me junk journaling (capturing little moments from my day), spending time with friends, and getting happily bossed around by my cat, Buttercup.
