a little bit about me
drawing, creating and design
Hello, I'm Sarah Anne and I create simple, honest + sustainable prints, illustrations + designs.
​
Since being very young I have always loved drawing and creating, making, exploring and learning. In 2016 a resolution to do a drawing a day, then two years living in Scandinavia, led me to create my own calm, natural illustrations and Sarah Anne Draws was born.
​
Sustainability, natural calm, simplicity and happiness are at the heart of what I do, I don’t think that we should create anything new without first thinking where it comes from, how it is made, and what might happen to it when it is no longer needed – for this reason all my work uses renewable or recyclable materials, sustainable inks or dyes, and local suppliers.

​
I work out of a small home office in York - where I live with my photographer and video making husband - and it is where most of my designs are created. My background is in textiles, product development, process and product engineering and I love to collaborate with others to create sustainable products and designs.
​
As well as creating cards and prints I also create logos and designs for small businesses, offer graphic design and illustration services to individuals and complete custom designs and creations for those who want something a little different too.
