You’re on mute. You’re frozen. One sec. I have a delivery at the door. Your internet is lagging. I’m just turning my camera off while I eat. Hold on. I need to refill my coffee. Shit! My cat just knocked over my coffee!!!

Sara Nguyen

A sucker for beautiful anime and strong character development, Sara brings her love for stories with layered meanings and visual richness into her design work as well. Some people whistle while they work—Sara can’t whistle, so she sings. Luckily, she rarely forgets to mute herself during Zoom work sessions.
