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 […]
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 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 […]

It’s Valentine’s Day, and no matter what your Facebook says under “Relationship Status,” it’s a good excuse to spread some love around. My beloved Portland folks–clients, friends, and supporters–have been wonderful during my first few months as Upswept Creative, and I love you for it! THANK YOU for being awesome, and letting me help you […]
As a web design professional, I can say with confidence: your Flash web site is not helping your business. Strong words, perhaps, but Flash is good for a very specific set of things, and your business web site is not one of them. These are just a few reasons why you should think twice before […]
First Friday is back at Upswept Creative, with a special holiday edition! We had a fun evening at my October First Friday open studio event, so we’re doing it again! This time, we’re kicking off the holidays featuring several fantastic Portland creatives: new jewelry from the Fresh Tangerine Holiday 2011 collection collaborative holiday arrangements by […]
They say social networking is becoming more and more important when it comes to sharing your brand, but it’s not always obvious how you’d actually, y’know, go about doing that.
