ABOUT ME
My name is Sara Festin and I work freelance with Graphic Design. I have many years of experience (since 2011 to be exact) in designing all types of marketing material for different companies. This is my big passion - I love helping businesses grow, with a touch of colors, fonts and layout etc.
I'm originally from Östersund, a small town in northern Sweden. Here I early found my passion for art and creativity. Since 2015 I've found alot of inspiration from NYC, where I'm now also based and work remotly from.
Are you interested in getting my help, want to know more about me or have any questions?
