About Me
A Brief Introduction bios are hard
Hi! My name is Sara Hood and I am a passionate graphic designer currently working with the Amicus imprint at The Creative Company, a children's publishing house in Mankato, MN. I thrive in creative environments, and love designing across a variety of platforms including InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I have also dabbled a little bit with After Effects and Premiere Pro and plan on strengthening my skills and familiarity with those programs in the future. My portfolio showcases a diverse range of projects that demonstrate my technical skill and artistic vision.
My resume (linked below) only shows a glimpse of what I can do. Feel free to contact me to learn more about my skills, experiences, and ideas (you won't find me lacking in creativity).

Travel
So far I have traveled to 11 different countries including Spain, Italy, Belgium, England, Netherlands, Scotland, Dominican Republic, China, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. One of my goals in life is to take every possible opportunity to travel abroad to learn about different cultures and the world around me. Once our borders start opening up again, I plan to schedule a trip to Iceland and Israel.

Film
​
I love all types of films, and can never pick one to be my favorite because they each have merit. Current favorites that come to mind include Kill Bill, the Birdcage, Roman Holiday, Rope, Little Miss Sunshine, Pretty Woman, and Silence of the Lambs. I could go on and on listing titles of classics. However, there is nothing like watching a new movie for the first time. It's like the first time riding a rollercoaster, or the first time finishing a new book. I am thankful to all the creatives out there that keep creating new stories that invoke these moments.
