In addition to her art and writing practice, Sara has worked in the intersection of tech, design and fine art since 2005 with clients across a wide range of industries, from well-known institutions to delightfully scrappy startups. In 2015 she began focusing on collaborations with early-stage, mission-driven companies concentrating on brand development and product. She served as a founding member of a Google Ventures backed startup, and later went on to become a founding member and creative lead of a financial-tech startup called Ethic from 2016 to 2022 to address key sustainability issues like climate change and human rights through the lens of investing.

Today, Sara mostly focuses on studio-initiated projects, though she still loves to get her hands dirty with select collaborations. For inquiries and work samples, don't hesitate to email: hi@sarablake.nyc
