Dip a toe into the world of typeface design and design your very own simple font in just one session! You can use your own handwriting, or draw from the world of sans-serif, serif, or even monospace typography. Now is your chance to create something that’s totally yours, that you can use in projects and on documents as long as you’d like.
Iâm Sarah, a designer, illustrator, and creative technologist in Atlanta, Georgia. Iâm the person you call who can inject a little weirdness into something traditionally pretty dry. People hire me to solve tough, design-driven problems, which can be anything from branding new initiatives within existing nonprofits, or figuring out how to translate complex regional planning terminology to the average layman.
As most of my friends will tell you, I also like applying my creativity to personal projects and following my curiosity down weird and interesting paths: building a âsnack stadiumâ for the Super Bowl, compiling a field kit about urbanism, and publishing a newspaper about creativity. Iâm pretty good at coming up with hijinks, but Iâm not quite so good at sitting still.
I also teach an online course called Design for Non-Designers that goes deep into everything you need to know whether you’re a designer, or just work with one.

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Wear your beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŚâ in conversation.
Itâs 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
