what people say
"Sarah is one of most multidimensional, well-rounded, and versatile women I've had the pleasure of getting to know over the last few years of working with her in various capacities. She sees and cares about complex issues both broadly and deeply, and she courageously dives deep into meaningfully and creatively sharing her perspectives and taking action, especially in building community resilience to natural disasters and regeneration projects. Sarah excels not only in her roles as an artist, creative designer, and story-weaver, but also as an organizer and leader of design strategy workshops/webinars, convening stakeholders for shared sense making and inquiry, and ably using systems- and design-thinking approaches in all her projects. I am eagerly following (and helping where I can, as mentor or technical writer) her leadership in developing a large scale ecosystem restoration lab that aims to shape national targets for the UN Decade for Ecosystem Restoration and to enable the scaling of best practices up, wide, and deep across landscape restoration actors in the Philippines. Sarah is kind, smart, knowledgeable, and inclusive by nature, and therefore a joy to work with."
