ABOUT ME
If you've made it down to this section of my site, then I've successfully sparked your curiosity. "Curiosity killed the cat" you might say, but as an avid animal lover, I'd like to reassure you that satisfaction will bring you back (to contact me.)
My name is Sara Ellis. I'm a creative storyteller with a passion for exploring different types of media. I'm always searching for ways to improve myself and my work by learning and developing new skills. I support my coworkers by bringing humor, empathy, and energy to the workplace. I take pride in my work when goals are met and the client can express why they like the end product.
If you're interested in working with me, or think I'd be a great addition to your team, please get in touch!
