Sarah Schulte is a graphic designer and illustrator with a curiosity for color, line, and movement.

Sarah’s illustration work gently dips into the surreal, each drawing a moment that feels alive with a delicate, yet whimsical, energy.

Before establishing her own practice, Sarah worked as a Design Director at Instrument in Portland, OR. Now, she spends her days collaborating with publishers, brands, and other creative folk to make beautiful things.

She lives and works from her studio in the Hudson Valley.
