Nice to meet you! I am Sara Laufers

What led me on the road of a UX Designer and Researcher is my passion to incorporate both my artistic creativity and technological ingenuity into one.

What I bring to the table:

  • Computer Science Degree & Art Minor - College of Saint Benedict

  • Technical Support Program Coordinator - Pearson VUE

A little more about me

 

During my free time, I love to busy myself by drawing on my iPad or going outside for a short walk. Otherwise, I would drink my favorite Chai Tea, pet my cat, wake-boarding at the cabin, hang out with my friends, or watch inspirational and fun videos on Youtube.

I love the romance genre and listening to soft music while reading a novel. I often get lost in a good story for hours, or even when drawing. These are my out-of-bed motivators other than a good breakfast with coffee.

I am also a gamer girl. My favorite sport, tennis, was inspired from my childhood game, Mario Tennis. Continuing with the sport, I eventually reached the varsity team in highschool. Playing games also inspired me to learn Javascript on HTML and CSS to design my own.
