My name is Sarah Ward and I'm a freelance designer and illustrator living in my hometown of Sheffield with my husband, daughter and ʻstudio assistantsʼ Alfie and Mabel the border terriers. As I went to college I started to fall in love with graphic design but I still loved nothing more than sitting with a pencil and sketchbook. It was during my degree in Visual Communication that I began to take my illustrations onto the Mac and mix the two elements together.
After a stint of training and working as a lithographic printer I decided to pursue my design background and went to work for Hallmark Cards as a Mac Designer for a number of years - working on cards, gift wrap, packaging and crackers. It was then time for a new challenge and take the leap into the world of freelance. I now work from my home studio for numerous clients around the world - under the watchful eyes of Alfie and Mabel of course!
