Sarah Novak

Growing up, I observed subtle visual patterns, from tiled ceilings to car tail light details. This ignited my appreciation for intentional design—distinct from art. Through this program, I've discovered my passion for the design process, constantly questioning and seeking solutions. I want to blend analytical and creative abilities to solve problems and enhance both experiences and perceptions to make the world a more beautiful and enjoyable place. I hope to surround myself with other design-driven individuals whose passion is not only vocalized, but shown.
