"I work in a complex and challenging consulting field, often obscured by abstruse jargon. For a long time, I struggled with the challenge of simplifying, popularizing, and pitching it. Sara made processes and methods clear and accessible with a disconcerting visual fluidity. Since then, proud of this result, I have been able to communicate much more effectively in my presentations and business proposals."
