SARAH JANE DUNAWAY

I help brands shape their voice and bring it to life.

I’m a creative director and brand strategist with more than 20 years of experience bringing clarity and purpose to brand storytelling. With a background in graphic design, advertising, and journalism, I translate complex ideas into compelling visual campaigns for architects, luxury builders, financial firms, and mission-driven organizations.

Clients & Collaborations

Over the past two decades, I’ve partnered with clients across architecture, real estate, finance, health care, law, and mission-driven organizations. My work blends strong creative execution with strategic thinking—elevating visual design while honoring the deeper framework of brand architecture. Whether collaborating with in-house marketing teams or supporting agencies, I focus on thoughtful, purposeful design that communicates clearly and endures.

Let’s work together.

I take on a mix of freelance and consulting projects—supporting agencies, creative teams, and business owners with copywriting, branding, design, and digital strategy. I also collaborate with fellow designers and firms on larger-scale work when the project calls for it.

My approach is flexible, efficient, and tailored to each engagement. If you're looking for a creative partner who can think strategically and deliver with clarity, I’d love to connect.
