The Office of Sarah is a creative studio run by Sarah Jackson.
About Sarah
Sarah Jackson is a designer, illustrator and art director with over 10 years experience working on brands, ad campaigns, design, and illustration projects. Her work has won multiple awards (which serve briefly as excellent bragging rights, and longterm as adequate doorstops) and she has been featured in various magazines (some of which no longer exist). She has been an invited speaker at various events, including The Telus World of Science: Dark Matters (2021 & 2019) and Orange Design Conference (2019). A past board member for the Graphic Designers of Canada and the Advertising Club of Edmonton (2013–2015), Sarah stays engaged in her community through various projects, most recently the Top 40 Dogs of Edmonton. In the fall of 2018, Sarah received her Master of Design (MDes) from the University of Alberta, and she now likes to stomp around proclaiming that she’s “basically Yoda”. Since 2018, she has taught in the design programs at both the University of Alberta and MacEwan University.

Want Sarah to speak on your panel or present at your event/conference? As long as you’ve got a diverse and inclusive list of folks on your list, she’d be happy to consider it – but be warned, Sarah’s interests are divergent, often aggravatingly unrelated, and at times risqué. For instance: Sarah was a panelist for MacEwan’s 2020 “Women in Entrepreneurship Symposium” (direct quote from Sarah: “I guess I’m an entrepreneur?”); a guest speaker in 2019 at Orange: The Design Conference presenting on her Master of Design thesis research (hermeneutics, a philosophy of interpretations through dialogue, and how it applies to design practice); a featured presenter at The Telus World of Science Edmonton’s Dark Matters in 2019 (on the invigorating topic "The Art of Being Mostly Naked"); and a featured speaker at Nerd Nite Edmonton in 2018 (her lecture topic: "Burlesque as a feminist art form").
