Hi, I’m Sarah Watts!
I’m an illustrator, art educator and surface designer for Ruby Star Society. I have worked with over 35 companies ranging from the fashion to the literary to the stationery and gift industries with brands like Target, American Greetings, and Houghton Mifflin.
I specialize in teaching Photoshop, surface design, and drawing techniques and I’m so incredibly proud to say that hundreds of students have learned how to live more creatively through my courses like From Paint to Pattern or through my membership: Sketchbook Squad.
Working in both illustration and fabric design have each taught me a LOT about taking analog art into a digital world and I’m so excited to pass on that knowledge to you!
