Sarah Flood-Baumann – Designer

An award-winning design practice, my bread and butter includes designing book covers and heavily formatted book interiors and publications.

Overview

My name is Sarah and I’m delighted you’re here! Under my belt I have 10+ years of professional experience, an MFA in graphic design from Vermont College of Fine Arts and I recently won PRINT Magazine's Editor's Choice award for my work with Louisville Magazine.

My jam is working on projects like book covers, heavily formatted book interiors (like cookbooks and art-books) and long-form communication collateral like mini-magazines, annual reports and workbooks. In addition to all things print, I also provide a full author/marketing suite of design possibilities that include digital ads, book mockups and more.

My design studio is founded on the principles of inclusion, bold empathy and curious creativity. My clients can attest that my work ethic is strong and my ability to manage a project from both in weeds of the details to the large sweeping concepts. Let's get to work!

Sarah has been a pleasure to collaborate with! Though I've been published conventionally, this was my first experience having an ebook formatted, and she patiently guided me through the process. Her communication was professional, prompt, concise and clear and she was always responsive to feedback. I look forward to working with her again on my next project.

Terrible experience. After Sarah sent a bid and we agreed upon, there was a misleading wording that led to a rough go at the beginning. We had a phone conversation and to avoid further miscommunication, and started moving forward. She submitted 3 pages rough draft to see if I liked the design, and format, which I did, and we had agreed on a cover design. Then she sends me a note and refuse...
