HELLO. I’M SARAH

Hello, I’m a multi-disciplined designer specializing in products for home and gifting, with a proven record in growing brands.  My areas of focus are product design + development, graphic design and brand development.

I take pride in designing beautiful objects for the home and lifestyle. Products that evoke emotion, hold memories or solve a problem. 

Since 2006, I have worked for global retailers such as: Anthropologie, Uncommon Goods and Hallmark as their design lead. In 2022, I realized a dream and created Sarah Cornes Design, where I design full-time and travel the world. Since then I have worked with some fantastic brands including, Indigo, The Wander Club and Marks & Spencer. 

In my spare time I explore the world leading women’s hiking and mountaineering trips for a women-owned adventure company. I love to explore the design and craftsmanship of the country I am in, collecting objects and textiles along the way.

“Thoughtful, innovative design is at the heart of what I do.”
