Sarah Jane is a designer and a copywriter.
Yes, we exist.
Yes, we exist.
We hide in the shadows, disguised as one or the other for a long time.
Then we get the courage to come out. To be our true, authentic selves.
We were warned. Cautioned to market ourselves as 1 thing.
"Don't confuse people," they said.
"You're either a copywriter or a designer. Not both."
And, for most creatives, this is probably good advice. But for us, it just makes us mad.
We have faith that the people we want to work with will recognize the strength in having a utility player on their creative team. We aren't looking to book two jobs, or get two salaries (although we wouldn't decline the offer). We are simply letting you know that we can think in both the visual and the verbal.
The combination of writing and designing is dynamic skillset. If you've got both, don't be afraid to come out and say it.
We're done pretending that you can't have it all.
