About Sarah Jennings

I build things from scratch, wrangle chaos into clarity, and bring big ideas to life—whether it’s a product, a prototype, or an entire operational system.I’m a Swiss army knife product and strategy leader with 10+ years of experience turning ambiguity into working systems, scalable platforms, and meaningful user experiences. I’ve helped startups launch MVPs, telecoms build billing infrastructure, nonprofits expand their digital reach, and global ad companies scale innovation labs.Along the way, I’ve led globally distributed teams, prototyped with AI, mentored UX grad students, and built 25+ websites for clients ranging from community orgs to enterprise SaaS. Whether I’m coding an ML test, leading a design sprint, or helping execs through a GTM pivot—I show up ready to solve, connect, and create.Before all this, I started in theater. My undergrad is in technical theater, where I set one of my earliest life goals: I want to be able to make anything. And I meant it—I learned to sew full garments, build furniture, and still make a killer Halloween costume. But when I realized I wanted to build things that scaled beyond the stage, I turned to tech.I started by building portfolio sites for friends (Geocities-era gifs and all), eventually earning a master’s in publications design and launching a career at the intersection of creativity, systems, and strategy.Tools I use: Python, Figma, GA, Tableau, Notion, HubSpot, Monday.com, WordPress, HTML/CSS, and just enough SQL to be dangerous. With the tools available today, I firmly believe: you don’t have to know how to do everything to be able to do anything.Let’s make something amazing.
