about Sara

Passionate about bringing creative expertise to every project.

Sara Free’s journey as a Graphic Designer and Creative Professional is shaped by passion, growth, and a dedication to thoughtful design. With a foundation in industrial design, her career has evolved across branding, creative direction, art direction, photography, and layout design for both print and digital media, creating a diverse and well-rounded expertise.

Her story began in 2014 when she stepped into the role of the first in-house Graphic Designer at Jarvis Cutting Tools. What started as a pioneering position soon grew into something greater, as Sara’s keen eye for design and brand strategy propelled her into leadership roles as Marketing Director and Brand Manager.

In 2018, she shifted gears, bringing her expertise to Portman Architects as a Brand Specialist and Graphic Designer. There, she played a crucial role in shaping the firm’s visual identity, a contribution that set the stage for her next chapter. By 2021, Sara found herself in a new creative landscape—first at a local marketing agency, then making a pivotal return to Portman, this time as Senior Creative Manager at Portman Holdings, an Atlanta-based commercial real estate development firm. In this role, she continues to define and refine the branding and creative identity of the Portman brand and its vast portfolio.

Meticulous in her craft and driven by an innate sense of creativity, Sara brings an honest, detail-oriented approach to every project she touches. Beyond the world of design, she embraces a life filled with artistry and exploration—wearing black as a signature color, baking as a creative outlet, capturing stories through photography, painting with expression, traveling to inspire her vision, and cherishing the moments that truly matter with friends and family.
