My name is Sarah Brooking.

My mission is to create delightful and accessible human-centered products that eliminate the frustration of so-called "user error."

I've always been curious about what drives people. I thrive on new discoveries and seeing a project to completion. My skillset lies in research, ideation, storytelling, user testing and prototyping. I have experience on cross-functional teams. I enjoy translating complex issues into solvable problems.
My multi-disciplinary background has given me the hustle of a small business owner and the collaborative mindset of a cross-functional team member. I'm a creative problem solver with over ten years of professional experience. I have a working knowledge of business processes. I give and receive feedback with grace. I pride myself on being both analytical and empathetic. And I will show up - always.
When I'm not designing, I'm usually wandering outside with music in my ears. Spending time outside is my favorite way to destress. I also like sewing clothing, playing bass, cooking new recipes, or sipping on a microbrew while unwinding with a favorite show. I also like to push myself out of my comfort zone. Right now, I'm training to run a half marathon.
My favorite UX tools include Figma, Adobe XD, Miro, InVision, Trello and good ol' Google Forms. I have working knowledge of HTML, CSS and Bootstrap. I love learning new technology. Hey, I even like spreadsheets! Have another tool I should check out? Let me know!
