Sara Corine Designs
I’m a senior product and graphic designer with more than 18 years of experience creating stationery, photo products, seasonal collections, illustration, surface patterns, and production-ready artwork for national retailers and consumer brands.
My work has been sold through major retailers and platforms including Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, Walgreens, CVS, Snapfish, HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, Michaels, and JOANN. I specialize in developing cohesive, trend-aware collections that balance strong visual storytelling with the practical demands of personalization, print production, and high-volume retail.
My Story
My path into design was self-directed. I built my career through hands-on experience, curiosity, persistence, and nearly two decades of creating products for real customers and national retail markets. That experience has shaped me into a thoughtful, adaptable designer who understands both the creative and commercial sides of product development.
I’m based in Northern California and available for freelance projects, contract work, ongoing retainers, licensing partnerships, and senior-level design opportunities.
Let’s create something people are excited to send, share, and keep.

Services
Stationery & Photo Products
I design polished, market-ready stationery and photo products for weddings, holidays, graduations, new babies, announcements, and everyday celebrations. Each design balances typography, imagery, color, and personalization.
Product Collection Development
I create cohesive collections that feel connected while offering enough variety for a broad customer base. Services include concept development, trend research, colorways, coordinating pieces, and collection expansion.
Illustration & Surface Pattern
I create custom illustrations, decorative artwork, icons, and repeat patterns for stationery, paper goods, seasonal products, packaging, and consumer merchandise.
Seasonal & Trend Design
I develop fresh, commercially relevant designs informed by emerging color, typography, illustration, and lifestyle trends—while keeping each collection aligned with the client’s brand and customer.
Production Design
I prepare accurate, production-ready artwork for print and digital platforms. This includes resizing, template adaptation, photo placement, personalization areas, color adjustments, revisions, and final file preparation.
Licensing & Creative Support
I partner with retailers, manufacturers, agencies, and consumer brands through freelance projects, licensing agreements, seasonal contracts, and ongoing monthly design support.
