I appreciate cool creative works, and I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen a unique, handmade creation, and then cringed at the price tag. It’s not because it’s too expensive, though–it’s because it’s not expensive enough. Pricing can be a pretty intimidating topic–it’s hard to know what to charge, and you may even feel […]
The Alley 33 Fashion Event was a super-fun way to close out my photoshoot-filled July–over 20 Portland and Oregon designers, showing an incredibly eclectic array of looks? Yeah, sign me up! You can see some of my photos from the event on the Portland Mercury blog, where they’ve recapped the event better than I could, […]
If you like glitter, dancing, and pretty dresses, Clair Vintage Inspired has you covered: This Friday, Clair is celebrating FIVE YEARS of independent, Portland-made fashion! Clair has been designing modern and wearable clothes with a vintage twist since 2007, and I’m proud to have been there as her photographer for three of those five years. […]
One of the hardest parts of making your web site work for you is structuring your content. What do you include in the navigation bar? What pages will you realistically be able to maintain? What are the things your potential customers want to find? What are the things you want them to see most? It’s […]
Sarah G Creative is hitting the road: for June 10th-15th, I’ll be road tripping to LA and San Francisco, and taking photos along the way. I’ll be in LA on the 10th/11th, and San Fran on the 13th/14th, and a lot of my time there will be for play, so please be patient while I’m […]
After getting to know Sprout, a Portland-based health coaching business, for more than a year, I was excited to hear from Skylor–Sprout’s owner, and one of my favorite yogis on the planet!–about re-designing her web site! Skylor already had a basic WordPress site for her coaching business, and a separate blog of recipes and lifestyle […]
It’s been a busy few months, but First Friday is returning to Sarah G Creative, just in time for summer and with a fresh new lineup! I’ll be opening my studio doors once again, along with many of my neighbors at the Ford Building, who’ll also be exhibiting their loveliness. It’s going to be a […]
When a local business treats me right, I’m all about helping them out, and referring other people I like to them whenever I can. Last week, Old Town Computers saved my bacon, so I’m glad that blogging about my design work for them is giving me the excuse to shout praises from the rooftops about […]
When you need to design a banner or a flyer for an event, it can be an intimidating task. It’s a good idea to get expert help from a Portland print and graphic designer, but if you can’t do that, you can still make sure your sign gets the message across, by keeping a few […]
I like doing web design for non-profits whenever I can, because supporting good work in the community? That’s pretty awesome. This particular non-profit web site was a pretty ambitious project: I did a full WordPress redesign of their web site, and also built them a Members-Only login area, and helped set them up to run […]
