Hello! I’m Sara Jane or SJ (not Sara)

I’m a NYC-based art director specializing in food styling, content creation, and brand visuals. After earning my degree in advertising, I worked a few years as an art director before pivoting to freelance. I love helping brands create content that feels beautiful, approachable, and authentic.

When I’m not working, you can find me baking a healthy recipe, trying a new cookie, planning my next trip, or walking a dog in Central Park.
