What Sarah does
I do... well, a lot of things!
As a business owner and photographer, I'm one of the two minds behind Enko Photography. We have a studio in Portland, where we get creative with any and every type of shoot you can imagine, and make magic happen behind the lens.
As a web professional, I'm kind of a Swiss-Army Knife of design. I work at making things prettier and more usable, be they digital or physical, and I believe that good design isn't just a luxury, but a necessity. This includes web and UI design, graphic and logo design, print design and layout, photo-retouch and even small-to-medium-scale web development.
I do most of my design and web work as part of the team at Education Northwest, but I do sometimes take on freelance projects that interest me, and I hope to do more of that in the future!
What Sarah does best
In my photography, I love working with people and creating unique visions that fit with who they are and what they believe, from concept to creation to completion.
My design background is strongest in web and user interface design, so if you have a web site or software application that needs help, I'm your girl.
Generally speaking, however, any design or visually-oriented task is my forte! I'm also a very quick study, so if I haven't done it, I'll pick it up fast.
What does Sarah need?
My photography business could certainly use some marketing help. My partner and I have awesome skills as photographers, but we're a bit overwhelmed by the whole marketing and networking thing.
We might need an intern in the near future. Our workload is ramping up enough that I'm reaching my limit on things I can juggle! If you're interested in learning about the business of photography, or trying on new marketing strategies, I'd love to hear from you.
As a freelance design and web professional, I'm mainly looking for excuses to expand my skills and do something creative. I'm open to partial service trades, particularly if your project sounds fun and interesting.
