About

Hello! I’m Sarah – I’m a freelance designer/blogger/code-wrangler/circus performer from just outside Detroit. I thrive on helping people learn to improve their own sites, make the leap from unfulfilling jobs, and be brave in business and in life.

After training and performing aerial arts for two and a half years I quit my corporate design job in May of 2012 to freelance and literally run away with the circus. You can read about how I was able to make The Escape here.

My passion for inspiring people to build a business that brings them daily joy has only been amplified by the comments and emails I receive from other people stuck in jobs that squash their passion. I made the escape and it’s completely possible for you to do it as well!

I am highly motivated, full of ideas, 100 percent Scorpio, running on sugar, ambitious and bordering on fearless when it comes to the things I want and love. I thoroughly enjoy a quiet evening at home with my rat terrier Slayer (aka Piglet), vegan chocolate peanut butter ice cream, the Descendents, and books about kicking ass in business.

Hire me: If you’re interested in custom design work/website reviews/design & blogging workshops you can view my portfolio and contact me at XOSarah.com

Contact me: Follow me on Twitter and Instagram @sillygrrl. Email me at xosillygrrl@gmail.com. Please note: I read every single email I receive and do my best to respond, but it may take a week or so to get back to you. Shorter emails receive a quicker response and comments on my blog or Facebook will be the quickest.
