MEET YOUR BRAND BESTIE
Hi, I'm Sara!
Founder of Vine Studio (Vine is my married name, I love how it represents growth and the beautiful journey your brand can take).
I've always been captivated by the magic that happens at the beginning of something new, that exciting moment when a brand finds its voice and steps into the spotlight with visuals that make hearts skip a beat. Having launched and run three businesses of my own, I know firsthand that how you show up matters. Your brand isn't just pretty packaging - it's the foundation that supports everything you build.
My Not-So-Straight Path
My journey to becoming your brand strategist has been anything but conventional!
I started in finance administration (hello, organisation skills!), then followed my passion to become an artisan baker and pastry chef. From there, I designed and created wedding cakes from my home kitchen—each one telling a unique story through design.
But I missed human connection, so I pivoted again and retrained as a personal trainer. Working with women in the gym showed me the power of building confidence from the inside out. Adding coaching qualifications to my toolkit was the final piece that brought everything together.
This winding path wasn't random—it was preparing me to help you build a brand that's both strategic and soulful.
Why Strategy Comes First
Let's be real: gorgeous visuals make my heart sing too. But pretty without purpose? That's just decoration.
At Vine Studio, we dig into the strategy before we even think about colour palettes. What are your business goals? Who are you desperate to work with? What makes your approach different? What is your ‘special sauce’? When we align your visuals with solid answers to these questions, magic happens, your ideal clients start connecting with you before you even say hello.
Who I Love Working With
Creative souls who understand that branding is an investment, not an expense. Startups make my heart beat faster, there's nothing like building something beautiful from the ground up! If you're ready to stand out confidently in your space and connect authentically with your audience, we're going to get along famously.
THE RESULTS SPEAK VOLUMES
There's nothing quite like watching a client implement their new content strategy and sell out their first lead magnet within days. That moment when they realise their brand has real power? It's what gets me out of bed in the morning (well, that and my search for Sheffield's perfect cinnamon swirl).
Beyond the Brand Studio
When I'm not helping businesses bloom, you'll find me in Sheffield with my husband Richard and our son Roman (who we lovingly describe as a "one-man stag do" - he’s chaotic and absolutely wonderful).
We spend our weekends exploring galleries, discovering exhibitions, taking walks in the Peaks, exploring Sheffield’s amazing parks, and hunting down cute new bakeries. And yes, I'm on a serious mission to find the world's perfect cinnamon swirl.
True to my belief in standing out, you'll always spot me in the brightest outfit in any room, I mix colours and patterns with abandon. I don't just talk about bold branding; I live it.
Ready to Build Something Beautiful Together?
Your brand deserves to be seen. Let's create something that makes both of us proud, a brand that works as hard as you do and grows alongside your business.
Your story matters. I'm just here to help you tell it beautifully.
