Sandra Barnes Design
Over the past thirty years, I've immersed myself in the world of graphic design. It's a constant presence in my life and creativity has played a central role in shaping my journey. I believe that sharing this creative spirit is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my life.
My career began in graphic print design, at a time when everything was crafted by hand. The typesetting team meticulously handled text, the darkroom was where our photos came to life, and we carefully applied wax and mylar overlays to bring our design concepts to fruition. It was an era quite different from today's standards. I can still vividly recall the day when my supervisor offered me the opportunity to embrace the latest technology, the Apple Mac Plus. Thankfully, I seized that chance.
Looking back, that period feels like a distant memory. Technological advancements have brought profound changes to the graphic design industry, not only in terms of how we work but also in the breadth of our work. Today, our creative endeavors encompass much more than just print – we delve into web design, app development, social media platforms, e-commerce products, and beyond.
Change always brings new opportunities for creativity. In my early years, my grandfather gifted me a set of personalized pencils, bearing our family name in gold. This simple gesture ignited my passion for personalization and customization. In today's world, with technology's diversity and user-friendly interfaces, I have the means to nurture that passion by creating a wide array of customized products.
I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be able to share my creative passion with individuals from all walks of life. Each person possessing a unique identity that resonates with the distinct pieces I create. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your creative journey.
