| Biography, Sarah Owen
 With a decade’s experience in website and graphic design, I have worked with government, the private sector, cultural and environmental organisations and many individual artists, garnering a reputation as being professional and easy to work with whilst always executing designs with style and finesse.
Continually striving to maintain a diverse practice, my work incorporates print, web and three-dimensional design and I enjoy collaborating with professionals from other fields to create designs as varied as websites, iPhone and iPad apps, architectural graphics and landscapes.
A part-time appointment in the Visual Communications Studio at the University of Tasmania over the last 5 years has provided an opportunity to teach upcoming designers, and in-turn, inspiration and learning for my own practice.
