About me

Sarah is a native Southern Californian who now resides in Northern Florida with her husband, son, and their Maine Coon Norwegian Forest Cat.

She holds a Bachelors degree with emphasis in Psychology and Counseling, yet discovered a love for graphic designing around a decade ago, leading to the creation of Emulate Yourself a few years back, where she loves bringing beautiful visuals to life to emulate the style of those they are created for.

She is also a writer, ghostwriter, and copy editor who dabbles in adoption education for reform activism, family preservation advocacy, and adoption trauma recognition, through her page Adoption Education Keys, speaking as an autistic and ADHD biological mother to two adult adoptees, both relinquished at birth, through domestic infant adoption (DIA). She furthers her support for mothers as a contributing author, and the graphic designer, for the Knee to Knee program, the nation’s first post-placement curriculum for birth/first/natural mothers who have lost children to adoption relinquishment.

She enjoys music, well written TV and movie characters, collects vinyl albums, loves dance parties, collaging, coloring, connecting, game nights, Mexican food, and any time spent with her family and friends. Her passions for people, healing and encouragement lead her to design, write, create, and sometimes share her story, in hopes that others will feel seen, heard, and understood within her designs, writings, and creations.
