# Sara Trosky

> UI Designer at REI

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/saratrosky

I'm Sara:
- a creative who is passionate about making thoughtful work that has an actual impact on the way people think, and feel.
- I hope to one day become a Creative Director, and am seeking out my next Junior Art Director position to help me get there. 
- I got into design when I realized that the combo of visual design and a challenge is exactly what fuels my creative fire.
- I was raised in Jersey, where I was brought up to love Pork Roll and going to the shore. 
- Am now living in Boston, pretending to like lobster rolls until I find my next new venture. **I am looking!**
- I’m a big believer that “You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.” (Robin Wiliams).
- I try to stay curious, work very hard, take risks, and laugh at myself as much as I can, because life is already too serious.
- My first pet flew away from me, so I know real heartbreak, and I have a thick skin. Go ahead critique my work! It won’t hurt!!
- I once went cross country road tripping without an itinerary...realized it was a bad idea when we didn’t have a place to sleep. Then bought a tent and camped the U.S. Would 10/10 do it again.
- I can do the worm.
- I was a caricature artist at one point.
- My hobbies include: eating, exploring mother nature, snowboarding, live music, reading, lots and lots of DIYS.
- My work ethic is to work very hard, put in the hours, take chances, find opportunities that aren't obvious, learn from others, be adaptable to change, to take it easy and stay positive.
