Cre­at­ing web­sites and web con­tent since 2001, Sarah Jane Par­menter is a design­er, social media con­sul­tant, and tech, beau­ty, and trav­el blog­ger who divides her time between Leigh-on-Sea, UK, and New York, NY. Hav­ing estab­lished her­self as a stage and tele­vi­sion actor while still a teenag­er, Sarah piv­ot­ed to become a design­er at age 19. With­in a few years, she had gained inter­na­tion­al renown and respect cre­at­ing web­sites and iOS appli­ca­tions for clients includ­ing Black­ber­ry, News Inter­na­tion­al, STV, and the Nation­al Breast Can­cer Foun­da­tion of America. 

In 2011, at .net Mag­a­zines annu­al awards show, Sarahs peers vot­ed her Design­er of the Year. She fol­lowed up on that suc­cess by branch­ing into social media brand­ing and con­sult­ing for major celebri­ties dur­ing a stint on the Amer­i­can west coast­while simul­ta­ne­ous­ly cofound­ing, devel­op­ing, and sell­ing a pod­cast appli­ca­tion to a major play­er in the space. 

Fol­low­ing the sale of her appli­ca­tion, Sarah returned to design, brand­ing, and con­sult­ing for a short­list of clientswork she pur­sues both inde­pen­dent­ly and through studio.zeldman. In our stu­dio, she spe­cial­izes in brand and inter­ac­tion design, and con­sults on brand and social media strategy.
