Graphic/Web Design and Marketing:
“Sara recently completed a logo, website and cards for my new business location (Summer Wood Skin Care). She is a breath of fresh air to work with! She is creative, timely, thoughtful and professional and a gem of a woman. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a fresh image for their business!”
~ Summer Wood, summerwoodskincare.com
“Sara was the obvious choice for Tahoe Truckee Earth Day design work. Her spirit and her talent combine to produce original art that fits our values of community, stewardship, conservation and education. Sara was able to design a new website, marketing and advertising materials, as well as our T-shirts. Sara has been a good friend to our small non-profit and has been open to our ideas, which she then combined with her own vision to generate fantastic materials. We hope that as a result of this project, we can help spread the word about this great local artist.”
~ Lisa Cashel, Tahoe Truckee Earth Day 2010

“Sara Zimmerman is on fire! I have never met someone so clearly grounded in both sides of her brain: her art is awe-inspiring, and her organizational skills and marketing genius are unbelievably professional. Full Circle Movement has so much gratitude and love for Sara. Our success is not only hugely due to Sara, but she has even taught us how to measure it!” ~ Jen Fluharty, Full Circle Movement

“Working with Sara Zimmerman was painless. I’ve been putting off a new look for my company because the idea of re-creating myself was daunting. In a 15 minute meeting with Sara I had a new, hip look that better represents what I sell and who I am. With in 48 hours she had proofs for me to review and with just a few changes we were able to discuss over the phone my new business cards were ready to send off to the printers. Fast, efficient, edgy, affordable and painless is how I would describe my experience working with Sara.”
~ Kahlil Johnson, Kahlila
“Sara recently completed a website for a non-profit organization that I work for. She was great at walking us through exactly what she needed from us for her to build the site how we wanted, and within our budget. Not only that, she really showed a great breadth of capability, designing a sharp, professional site, that appealed to a wide range of perspectives (from the public to government organizations). In addition to this, she did the work FAST. We ended up needing the site sooner than we had anticipated, and she was able to get us a fully functional site almost the next day. I was really impressed at this fast turn around, given her full client base. She was willing to work with us, and our existing restrictions about web hosts. It was very obvious during the process that she really cares about the success of her clients organizations and that she does her part to help.”
~ Aviva Rossi, Environmental Scientist, Bay Area Early Detection Network

“I own an online business. I hired Sara to recreate a logo, do our branding, and create and implement an ongoing marketing plan. Sara created branding and a unique logo that fully embodies the direction and mission of my business. Sara then created the marketing plan and designed all of our materials, including our business cards, sales kit, icons for our website, email newsletter template, and flyers. Since I have hired Sara, I have already seen an influx of interest in my business and have received numerous comments about the great look and design we now have. Sara is passionate about her work and takes the details of my business (and budget) very seriously. I look forward to working with her on future projects and highly recommend her to anyone.”

Sara not only created me the exact card and illustration I wanted, but helped me research different printing options and dealt with the printer. She made everything completely hassle-free and easy.

I recommend Sara to all my friends and anyone looking to work with a genuinely talented artist!”

Commissioned Artworks and Illustrations:
“I commissioned Sara to paint a portrait of our dog for a present for my husband. After seeing her dog portraits in Truckee Book and Bean, I decided that I had to have my very own! Sara was very easy to work with, and after giving her a few photos of our dog, she had completed a wonderful painting in less than a week. Everyone that has seen our portrait of “Tola” has absolutely loved it and the quality of Sara’s work. In fact, I was so impressed with Sara that I asked her to do some work for the organization that I work for.”
~ Emily Williams, Truckee, CA
“Our home is filled with Sara Zimmerman’s exclusive art, including pieces we commissioned specifically. We knew Sara was the right artist for a set we wanted and when we presented Sara with our idea, she immediately saw the same vision we did. She created what we had asked for using mixed media and in the colors we wanted to highlight. We are enthusiasts for Sara’s works: some realism, some impressionism, some whimsy, some fantastical and all fine art. Sara’s commissioned pieces are given highlighted positioning in our home and we receive many compliments about them.”
~ Misty Young, Truckee, CA
