Hey, I'm Sara.

Who?

My name is Sara Finkle (she/her).

As a freelance product designer, I craft intuitive experiences for mission-driven teams—because good design should feel like second nature, not a second guess.

My background as a composer and vocalist sharpened my creative problem-solving skills—thinking in systems, iterating intuitively, and crafting emotional experiences. That same mindset now fuels my UX work. Whether recording my fusion EP SINK or SWIM or performing with my pop-rock band K SaraSara, I’ve always designed with feeling and function in mind.

Teaching fourth graders and piano students taught me patience, empathy, and how to explain anything—from fractions to falsetto—without losing my mind. Turns out, those same skills are perfect for user research: spotting behavior shifts, asking the right questions, and making sure people feel heard (even if they’re not singing).

Off the clock, you can find me out bike riding, chasing the sun, or singing my heart out somewhere.

Why?

I’ve always been fascinated by what makes people tick. That curiosity led me to product design, where I get to untangle problems, explore options, and shape experiences that truly work.

What?

Whether it's SaaS, AI, or e-commerce, I’m no stranger to designing with purpose (and a few constraints). I’ve led cross-functional teams through complex UX puzzles and built a multi-product design system that actually gets used—because systems should work for people, not confuse them.

How?

I begin by understanding users, then design and test solutions that work. With a design thinking mindset, I iterate fast and deliver impactful results that solve real problems.

Where?

Based in Brooklyn, NY — available for in-person, hybrid or fully remote work.
