Bio
Ashley Azevedo
Sarah is a force to reckon with! As my creative mentor over these past four years, she has proven to be a great leader. I could always count on Sarah to provide guidance to help resolve any design obstacles I was facing. She continued to push me out of my comfort zone, elevating my skills to new heights. A lot of my personal growth and success is thanks to her unparalleled leadership and creativity. She is a true visionary, full of innovative ideas and a strong team player when it came to building out holistic creative campaigns. Working alongside Sarah within any creative territory always made for a killer campaign. It would be an absolute joy to work with Sarah again!

There really aren't enough superlatives to describe Sarah Spaziano. We worked together for 7 years and in that time she took on an ever-increasing level of responsibility within the design/creative group and grew from a rogue trained assassin to a mighty leader of teams across the US. Her skill set, problem solving and can-do attitude are unmatched and we worked through dozens of intense, time-sensitive projects in which she saved the day on multiple occasions and always came through with a design product that wowed our clients. Aside from her amazing aptitude, her attitude was to be commended. Always cool under pressure and does her best work when it's needed most. And she is a great human being to boot and a colleague everyone wants to be around. I recommend Sarah's work with the highest level of confidence.

Throughout the year that Sarah Spaziano and I worked together, she was an absolute cornerstone of our company’s Boston office, as well as our national creative practice. As a leader of her creative team, Sarah is relentlessly empathetic, always thinking team first and focusing on each team member’s best interests. And as a partner to cross-discipline colleagues, she is an outstanding collaborator that can speak to the business side of the conversation as fluently as she can discuss her primary creative side. In fact, Sarah displays more business acumen than just about any Creative you’ll ever meet. In addition to her management and leadership contributions, Sarah is (and has always been) a designer at heart. Her willingness to jump in and get hands-on with any project was invaluable when things got hectic – and those instances always culminated with outstanding work. Whether managing her team, jumping in to help the team execute when we're on a tight deadline, or as a creative leader with our clients, Sarah has been an invaluable asset and ally. Everyone that has the good fortune of working with Sarah comes away from the experience as a huge fan – myself included.
