HELLO!

Sarah Kouch

Dog Lover • Native Floridian • Design Style: Uniquely Simple

Welcome to my portfolio website! I'm a designer based in Clermont, Florida, where I spent most of my formative years developing my passion for design. I started out by creating PowerPoint presentations with all the bells and whistles, and when I got to high school, I discovered the Adobe Suite and have been hooked ever since.

Nowadays, my focus is on UX/UI design. I enjoy working on layouts for UX projects and designing app wireframes and prototypes. I believe that great design is about solving problems, and I'm passionate about creating solutions that are both beautiful and functional.

I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting projects, so if you're looking for a designer who's dedicated, creative, and easy to work with, let's connect and see how we can make something great together.

Layout

My forte lies in the layout of various types of projects. I tend to gravitate towards clean, bright, and playful designs that showcase a clear order of hierarchy. I relish working with an array of mediums, including but not limited to magazines, newspapers, books, annual reports, brochures, product catalogs, newsletters, and journals. In addition, I have experience in editing copy.

UI/UX

I specialize in designing the User Interface and User Experience of digital products. Using software like Figma and Invision, I create responsive website and app designs along with prototypes that are practical and engaging. Prior to the design process, I conduct extensive research and continuously assess the UI and UX to ensure that it is user-friendly and meets the needs of the users throughout the entire design and testing phases.

Websites

By leveraging my expertise in HTML and CSS, I create responsive websites with ease using Webflow software. To guarantee smooth design and functionality, I conduct thorough research, maintain a constant check on the realism and user-friendliness of the UI & UX, and ensure responsiveness on all devices during the designing and testing stages.

Branding

I excel in brand ideation and ensuring compliance with brand guidelines established at the beginning of a project. In both group and individual projects, I have ensured that quality and consistency are maintained by overseeing and adhering to the branding system. All of the projects I have been involved in have maintained consistency in visual systems, logo design, corresponding stationary packaging, branding, and creative direction.

developing skills

I have worked on a variety of projects over the years, with many being one of these categories. Each project has taught me a lot about these graphic design sub-set and has interested me in furthering my knowledge of each.
