As a brand strategist, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and TEDx speaker, I help visionary women stop hiding behind watered-down brands.
It’s time to start owning your voice, claiming your space, turning heads, and changing industries. Together, we’ll build an unapologetic brand and an equally unapologetic life.
Meet Sara
You’re here because something in you is ready for more. More truth, more voice, more visibility, more alignment between the life you're living and the impact you know you're meant to make. And whether your work sits on a stage, behind a business, inside a community, or within a book, you feel the pull to show up fully and finally claim your space.
That happens to be my life’s work.
I’m Sara, and everything I create is rooted in one belief: when women step into their power without shrinking, the world shifts. My career has taken a lot of shapes: strategist, speaker, author, CEO, founder, advocate, and creative. But the through line is simple.
I help women see themselves clearly, trust themselves deeply, and step into the kind of visibility that changes both their lives and the lives around them.
For nearly two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of storytelling, purpose, and identity. I’ve guided thought leaders, creatives, activists, and entrepreneurs in naming what they stand for and expressing it in a way that feels honest, resonant, and unmistakably their own. I’ve built organizations, led teams, launched movements, written the truth even when it was uncomfortable, and used creativity as a form of connection, liberation, and leadership.
My work is about sparking something in people. A remembering. A reclaiming. A refusal to play small. I believe that when women rise, unapologetically, imperfectly, and boldly, communities strengthen, narratives shift, and entirely new futures become possible.
You might be craving clarity about your next chapter, courage to share your story, or permission to step into a bigger version of your life. You want support, yes, but you also want someone who tells the truth, sees the whole picture, and understands the emotional, creative, and strategic layers of stepping forward.
If you’re standing on the edge of your next evolution, I’m glad you found your way here. This is where the real expansion starts.
We build color-drenched brands for women who refuse to blend in.
Branding is the Bridge Between Your Purpose & Your Power
As the Founder and CEO of Elly and Nora Creative, I lead a powerhouse team of strategists, designers, and storytellers who turn bold visions into unforgettable brands. We believe branding is more than visuals—it’s a bold act of self-expression and a catalyst for change.
Harnessing the Power of Female Entrepreneurs for Transformative Change
Chicks Who Give a Hoot is the nonprofit I founded and now serve as President, created to mobilize female entrepreneurs as a force for good. As the philanthropic arm of Elly and Nora Creative, the organization blends storytelling, community, and purpose to support women in leading with impact. Through branding grants, mission-driven programming, and our signature annual live event held each Women’s History Month, we activate a growing movement of women who are using their businesses to shape a more equitable future for all.

MY BOOK
Do It Fat
Launching November 18, 2025, Do It Fat is a bold call to stop waiting until your body feels “ready” and start living your biggest, most unapologetic life right now. Part manifesto, part invitation, this book uncovers why women delay, hide, and opt out of their dreams. Do It Fat gives you the permission slip to finally separate your ambition from your appearance.
SPEAKING
As a speaker, I challenge audiences to rethink visibility, identity, and the stories that shape how women show up in the world. My talks blend branding, advocacy, creativity, and personal truth to spark bold action and deeper self-trust. Whether I’m on a TEDx stage, leading a workshop, or delivering a keynote, I help audiences confront the narratives that keep them small and step into the kind of presence that transforms their work and their lives.
