  • Sarah's work goes beyond design execution, she brings a deep strategic understanding of branding and communication. The visual identity she created for AAK Personal Care now serves as the backbone of our global communications, enabling local teams to maintain consistency across regions and across both digital and physical customer touchpoints. This has led to a much stronger and more unified brand presence worldwide.

  • Outset quickly became a trusted supplier to UKEL as we developed our B2B brand in the major events hosting sector. Working with us to develop a new brand identity, templates, dynamic sales presentation and advised on our website. Sarah is great to work with - collaborative, creative and efficient. I’d be happy to recommend Sarah to other businesses.

  • We’ve worked with Outset on many projects, but most importantly on multiple tradeshow stand designs. Sarah has been brilliant at helping us shape early concepts and explore creative directions, delivering a range of design options that made it easy for us to land on the perfect stand. Her work played a big part in us winning Best Small Stand at IBC 2022, out of more than 1,350 exhibitors.
