Hello!
I'm Sarah Handel! For the past 10 years, I've been deep-diving into all things design, combining my academic studies with personal projects. I'm deeply passionate about visual storytelling, and find my creative outlets through photography, graphic design and user experience.
My Story
My journey began with a childhood fascination for photography, evolving into the management of my own photography Instagram, @sarahhandelphotos. Now, I am eager to use my expertise to harness the power of visual storytelling to connect with audiences on a deeper level.
​
My time at James Madison University has been a pivotal chapter, expanding my social and academic horizons. Through my professional, academic, and personal pursuits, my passion for media work has grown exponentially and has fueled my design journey thus far. Classes in User Experience, Visual Communication, and Creative Advertising have inspired me and expanded my design skills.
​
Outside the media realm, you'll likely find me outdoors embracing nature through hikes, runs, or relaxing by the lake. I thrive on challenges and continuous learning, always seeking new ways to grow personally and professionally.
This site stands as a visual narrative, showcasing my work from my courses at JMU as well as various personal projects. I invite you to explore and enjoy the collective of my creative endeavors!
