Sarah Dean Morales (she/her) is a multidisciplinary designer based in Kansas City. Sarah holds a BFA in Graphic Design from the Kansas City Art Institute and has taught herself other media such as painting, illustration, photography, embroidery, and printmaking, all of which are interwoven into her work. With professional experience in print, architecture, and retail design, she brings principles of each field into every project.
Sarah’s work evokes a nuanced sense of nostalgia, thoughtfulness, and warmth which stems from her love of lyricism, wordplay, and storytelling. Sarah’s goal with each project is to establish meaningful connections from client to audience through posters, illustrations, publications, and merchandise. Drawing inspiration from not only her deep love of music, Sarah pulls from everything around her, including: mid-century modern interior design, gothic architecture, the Pacific Northwest, 1960s ephemera, outer space, and illuminated manuscripts, to name a few. She also likes lists.
Outside of her work, you can find her cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs, planning her next road trip, or trying to find humanity’s place in the universe by way of astronomy.
Sarah is currently the Gallery Director at Leawood Fine Art Gallery and is the Creative Director of Pleaser Magazine. She is accepting clients within the music industry and beyond. If you’d like to hire her for freelance work or give her her dream job (hiiii Paul McCartney and/or The Beatles), you can email her business manager, Ever Morales, at mgmt@sarahmdean.com.
