Marco Niekamp

Marketing Project Manager Aquatics at Spectrum Brands Pet

I worked with Sarah for a long period of time in several international projects. During this time, I learned that Sarah is a reliable and professional colleague. She is timing and quality orientated and a great communicator. This was especially important as we as project team changed over 180+ artworks within a few months. Sarah's contribution in developing artwork files, approving finalized pre-press ready artworks and organizing translation work was key to the project success. All in all Sarah is a valueable asset as a graphic production designer for every project team and a great team player.

Chris Quinones

Sr. Regulatory Compliance Specialist at Wilbur-Ellis

It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Sarah. I had the pleasure of working with Sarah for four years at Spectrum Brands Pet, collaborating on many projects over that time. We have worked together effortlessly to put compliant yet aesthetic consumer good labels out in the market. I was impressed not only with her outstanding ability at graphics editing, but also with her patience and open door policy on communication. Sarah has played a crucial role in developing art files, making regulatory changes to artwork, and approving final pre-press files. Recently, Sarah has really shined and proven herself as a valuable asset as we went through a global reformulation project in which she managed the revisions and approvals of approximately 300+ labels while adhering to a very aggressive turn-around time. I would highly recommend Sarah as a team leader for any graphics design project.

Many times during our time working together she brought creative solutions that drove not only the project forward but also helped us think critically about how we approached design challenges in the future.

Sarah has a amazing attention to detail (I guarantee she proof reads this) but can also see the big picture. I highly recommend Sarah as she would be an asset to any organization.
