About

Sarah Hollis is a sr. Art Director at GSD&M

These days, she’s working on brands like Capital One, Vrbo, and Southwest Airlines, raising the sweetest little boy on the planet, and somehow finding time to photograph weddings on the weekends.

But before that, she spent four years living in Austria, traveling Europe with her husband, freelancing, and blogging about it all. She rebranded a baseball club in a town most Americans can’t pronounce, helped grow Baseball Jobs Overseas into a platform connecting athletes with opportunities in 40+ countries, and turned her love of photography into a wedding photography business.

Before that, she spent five years at FCB Chicago, making ads for brands like Boeing and helping win new business like GE Appliances. She celebrated the Cubs’ first World Series win in 108 years with a full-page Sports Illustrated ad, brought NFL fans closer to the game, and helped launch a daily storytime series featuring Oprah, Jennie Finch, and the Obamas. Some of that work even picked up a few awards along the way, including recognition from Cannes Lions, The One Show, D&AD, the Clios, and the Tellys.

And before all that, Sarah was a division I softball player at the University of Kentucky, earning Academic All-American honors and helping the Wildcats finish fifth at the 2014 Women’s College World Series. Ten years later, she dusted off her cleats in Austria and helped her team win its first-ever club championship.

Turns out, the same things that make a good teammate make a pretty good creative partner, too. Just ask Chloe, Yessy, or Deepak.
