Old fashioned letters
“Sarah is a rare find. She is a pleasure to work with in every way. She is always one step ahead of the ball, self motivated, successfully manages many projects at any given moment and makes it look easy. She is fun and inspiring to be around, and brings focus and style to her work. I have received nothing but rave reviews from everyone that works with and around Sarah and I would give her my highest recommendation.” - Jenn Miller, Co-Founder, Audiosocket
"Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with! She's sharp, fun, an exceptional multi-tasker, knows her business and is full of great ideas! As a side note, I was also very impressed with how much I saw her do for Star Anna in terms of getting high profile venues for the band, their numerous interviews and guest appearances, and her ability to generate positive buzz for the band so their live events were packed. This girl rocks!" - Founder, Filmmaker/Director, Attackships On Fire
"Sarah has a totally unfound level of competence. She balances countless tasks and people with an easy smile. I've only had the most positive experiences working with her.” - Sean Majors, Creative Director, Upper Left, Seattle
