Personal Background

My name is Sarah Kidwell, and I’m on track to graduate from James Madison University in May 2027. I was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, and lived there for about a year before moving to Northern New Jersey in 2006. In 2014, I moved to Roanoke, Virginia, where I’ve lived ever since.

Growing up, I was always fascinated by how stories are told through visuals—whether in movies, on social media, or through design. That passion led me to pursue a degree where I can blend creativity with technology to craft compelling narratives.

Through my work, I’ve had the opportunity to explore different design techniques in graphic design, and I love challenging myself to think outside the box. My skills include proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, photography, and photo editing. I also have a basic knowledge of coding and am always eager to learn new tools and techniques.
