Sarah Ranney / Art Director

NJ - BKLN - SF

 

As a New Jersey native, I'm passionate about Taylor Ham and early 2000’s pop punk. After working for seven years in IT, I can definitely fix your computer, but I'd really rather not. Instead, I'm focusing my problem-solving skills on the ad world - combining my love of design, photography, and technology to art direct some cool-ass shit.

My hobbies include: podcasting, going on photo adventures, road trips, plane trips, any trips, watching garbage television, being super dramatic on Snapchat, and playing any version of Pokemon.

None of my pleasures are guilty. 

 
 
My amazing friends threw me a birthday party last night. It was over by midnight, which is basically everything I could ever ask for.
I haven't posted many photos lately, so here are some birds I shot a while back with @jenna_zee on one of our photo adventures together.

Mid-morning inspo.
This is my art.
A cool little doodle I made for @masonesara this week.
It's been a while since I've posted any of my photos on here. So here's a shot from an adventure I had a while back with @jenna_zee.
There's a direct correlation between creative input and output. I've spent the last few months working my ass off. A lot of late nights and weekends. I wasn't taking much in and I felt creatively drained. This week, things lightened up and I had a minute to breathe. I went to the MoMa, listened to podcasts, watched movies, spent time on Pinterest without a project in mind. And then something happened. I spent an entire afternoon drawing. For the first time in months, I was inspired to just make. So the next time you're feeling drained, try to stop and take things in. Clear your head and see what comes out.
For those who don't know, I've been working on a podcast called In A Word with @sabiofantana and @gbloftus where we each bring a word to discuss every week. Our inaugural episode on Farts, Samdwiches, and Adulting is live now. Link in my bio. And a big thanks to @karlgerm for our theme music!
Everything I am I owe to coffee.
Side Project Sundays
Yup.
Good morning.
We all pretty much suck at things when we're first starting out. Getting into lettering has been a goal of mine for some time now. While it can be hard for me not to focus on the things I could have done better, every drawing helps me grow, and I'm starting to see progress. Just gotta keep at it.
Happy New Year everyone! May 2017 be slightly less awful than we anticipate ✨
