Sarah Webster Smith

As an accomplished Digital Design Manager and creative problem solver, I bring deep experience across diverse industries and disciplines. I’ve led creative and production projects from concept through execution, ensuring that strategic goals and client objectives are always met. My background includes transforming ideas into innovative, effective design solutions, managing high-performing teams, and developing insightful, relevant strategies. I take pride in motivating and guiding teams to deliver top-tier results across multiple platforms.
With a strong focus on digital design, I specialize in helping brands stand out in fast-paced, competitive spaces—creating content that stops the scroll and drives real engagement across platforms like social media and email. I balance attention to detail with a clear focus on the bigger picture—turning abstract ideas into tangible outcomes. Through strategic brand development, creative leadership, and thoughtful execution, I’m committed to helping organizations succeed through visually driven, results-oriented solutions.
