"I'm Sara, a recent graduate with a Master's in Landscape Architecture from Harvard Graduate School of Design with a background in Environmental Design and Interior Design. Throughout my academic career, I have won multiple awards and been featured in several publications for my work in landscape design. Currently, I am engaged in specialized research focused on landscape and design, while balancing freelance interior design projects alongside my full-time role as a landscape architect. My proficiency spans across industry-standard tools such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite, enabling me to offer comprehensive tutoring in both the creative and technical aspects of design.

With experience working one-on-one and in small groups, I have helped students refine their portfolios, improve their design skills, and master essential software. My approach centers on providing constructive feedback, tailored critiques, and practical examples drawn from my own professional and academic experiences so that any student can understand the process of design detail from the logic rather than a top down approach. I have worked with design students of various levels, assisting them in building confidence in their work and preparing for professional opportunities. Most of my experience culminated within my time in and between graduate school as I built my teaching experience as Teaching Assistants for one-on-one help. I also have an extensive history in coaching younger to high school level students the basics of portfolio prep for any college. My ultimate goal is to help students develop a distinct design voice while equipping them with the technical expertise required for success.

Beyond tutoring, I am passionate about teaching and aspire to instruct at the university level in the future. Whether someone is looking to elevate a portfolio, sharpen design skills, or receive project critiques, I strive to collaborate in making the best possible creative vision together." less...
