Hello! I’m Sarah :) I’m a web designer and circus performer from just outside of Detroit. I spend my days building sites for freelance clients and my nights swinging from my aerial silks, trapeze and lyra with The Weird Sisters Circus. I also teach future aerialists to fly at The Detroit Academy of Kinesthetic Arts.
After training and performing aerial arts for two and a half years I quit my full-time design job in May of 2012 to literally run away with the circus. You can read about how I was able to make that happen here.
I am highly motivated, full of ideas, 100 percent Scorpio, running on sugar, overly ambitious and bordering on fearless when it comes to the things I want and love. I thoroughly enjoy a quiet evening alone, vegan chocolate peanut butter ice cream, the Descendents, ordering things online, and books about women kicking ass in business.
If you’re interested in hiring me for design work you can view my portfolio and contact me at xoSarah.com.

Hey just came across your site and came to read your bio and saw you were from the metro Detroit area, as am I! I always get geeked when I see other locals on the web.
I took an aerial class in Detroit one time…I had no upper body strength and could not accomplish anything in the class, and then I hurt myself the day after and couldn’t return. I dream of going back, I need to get my strength up before I do. You aerialist are strong cookies!
I see you talk about a lot of stuff locally so I’ll definitely be coming back. Cheers!

Hi Jessica! You should definitely give it another shot – I had no upper body strength or flexibility when I started. Just takes a lot of practice!
Hello! I do enjoy your blog – its very inspiring! I looked into aerial yoga classes nearby t’other day but the only thing google came up with was tv aerial installation… ah well! Keep spreading the happy! All the best, Gemma

Thanks Gemma! Sounds like you’ll just have to start an aerial studio on your basement ;)
Oo Michigan! Hello state-neighbor! I’m from Ohio =] Nice to see someone kinda close.
Tim Burton, The Office, and correct grammar? I like you already.
We need to be friends.
Ok?
Go.

yay for Metro Detroit! When you mentioned the music scene I had to click over and see who you were :) Found you via the 20sb blog feed.
Saw your post on Bikini or Bust. Let me know if you would like to interview Ashley on July, 24
We should be friends. I enjoy reading, watching TV and eating dessert. In that order.
Hooray for the 20SB exchange and finding new cool peeps through it!
