I A M S A B R I N A J A N E
I am a creator. Sabrina was born in Southern California with a paintbrush in her hand. I knew exactly what I wanted to spend my life doing at a young age. At 13 I pursued all things art, and won awards and competitions for painting and pencil sketches. At 18, I developed my skills for a lifelong career in design, acquiring my degree in Graphic Design in Long Beach, CA. Following that, I moved to Los Angeles and received another degree in Visual Communications, while interning with top advertising agencies. I have 16 years experience in Graphic Design, Marketing, Branding, Photography, Art History, Illustration, Videography, multiple Printing & Prepress Techniques, UX/UI Design, Textiles, Retail, Political Campaigns, Website Development, as well as Fine Art & Business.
Clients include Ritz-Carlton, Disney, Lexus, Jeep, Snap Studio, Capital Records, NIKE, Sports Illustrated, Hustler Clothing, Playboy, COSTCO/Jewel, Columbia University, Cheesecake Factory, Ski Discovery Resort, UPS, various Beauty/Cosmetics companies, Elementary/Middle/High Schools as well as small private businesses and startups across the nation.
I create digital assets & tangible deliverables of anything you can dream of, as well as do the dreaming for you, in a quick, affordable, personalized approach in order to generate and increase sales, grow engagement, expand conversion rates and reach specific goals for any project.

Flexible Affordable Pricing
As a freelance designer I can offer you a flexible approach to pricing and the affordability you won't find at a corporate design studio. Sight Candy Studio offers the lowest reasonable legacy rate and discounts for repeat clients. This means with client loyalty and repeat business, you are locked in paying the lowest rates while elsewhere rates increase with other freelancers & agency in the creative design industry over time. This includes a guarantee or lock-in rate for a set period of time ( 6 months ). We are flexible and will do our best to find a way to work within your budget. Another way to get locked into our legacy rate by submitting a certain number of projects monthly, semi-annually or annually, or pre-paying for multiple smaller projects in advance.
Trusted & Reliable
Honor, integrity, honesty, transparency and understanding is top tier here at Sight Candy. In a world full of uncertainty and unsavory characters, I pride myself on my integrity and sense of altruism, not just in business but in my community. I've started and led charity events, community organizing and volunteered for many non-profits through the years. I bring that same attitude of giving back and helping others into my business. I'm truly a fortunate person to be able to do what I love and help others reach their goals at the same time. I strive to meet my clients needs and value relationships, resulting in wonderful repeat clients.
Fast turnaround time
Freelancers are motivated to meet deadlines and work within a set budget so that they can retain their ideal clients. If they can’t deliver on their promises, they have no chance of building long lasting relationships with their customers. This allows you to suddenly meet short term deadlines – Sometimes an opportunity presents itself and you need to act on it ASAP. If you are still finalizing your website development or haven’t settled on a logo design, sometimes we can complete these tasks together within a day, or even a few hours.
High Quality over Quantity
Because I work within a certain niche I have an expert level on almost all services I offer. This also allows me to pick and choose a select few clients to work with, instead of a hectic corporate or agency position where designers are usually juggling multiple priorities, passing them from person to person. With one designer focused solely on your project and ONLY your project for most or all of the day, the results are faster and more concise as communication is increased. Your personal freelance designer is hyper focused on YOU.
INNOVATIVE ORIGINAL one of a kind designs
Sight Candy guarantees all deliverables are one of a kind and original, unlike big online platforms like Fivver and others. You should want to know your designers integrity and personal proven skills before hiring them. The ability for your designer to create their own artwork in different mediums is paramount. Software skills are only tools and should not be relied upon to complete a successful design. Pen/ink sketches, paint, paper, font making and the talent of creativity effect the ability to take an idea or vision in someone's imagination and convert it to a real visual digital or tangible result is not always easy to do. You want a designer who doesn't just have a natural talent for hand produced art, but one who also has the mental capacity of heightened creativity and out of the box thinking and other elements that cannot be taught or bought, as well as expert software skills. These parameters paired with education on technical training of the intricacies of design ( psychology, marketing, hierarchy, etc. ) . Bringing in Sight Candy can freshen up the brainstorming process – especially because with my experience I already know what works and what doesn’t within my niche.
Avoid the Scams
Online website like Fivver and others charge very low because some of their “designers” with little or no experience just steal clip-art and copyrighted illegal items. It's risky and there's no way to know which one of these "expert" designers are not experts at all. While there are a lot of dirt cheap freelancers that return questionable work quality, Sight Candy provides diverse skill sets and expertise. On average, private freelancers are more skilled than random freelancers on big platforms. Because the structure of Fiverr is intentionally designed to help promote both expert and amateur creators, it makes impossible to know which you will really get. When you buy a gig that is very cheap, it’s hard to come back and ask for edits or improvements. You get what you paid for. Their top sellers and pros can offer unrealistic deadlines. If they have hundreds of orders in their queue, you may have to wait weeks for your deliverables. These big hiring platforms are littered with scams and hiring correct is a gamble on your time and money. There are many gigs charging rock bottom prices and advertising higher quality work than they actually deliver. You could end up with a logo you think is fantastic, just to find out after you've printed it all over your website and materials that it belongs to someone else. You then have no option to get your money back or hold anyone accountable and have to start over. With Sight Candy we continue to work with you until you are satisfied, provided the revisions match the initial project first proposed.
targeted approach
Sight Candy welcomes collaboration with marketing directors and managers. Projects will be executed based on your target market, target audience and demographics. Whether your audience is subculture, purchase intention or interest, we recommend assets created have some form of marketing taken into account in order to to frame a complete picture from start to finish. If you don't have a marketing expert, we can provide recommendations on how to get an overview of your target audience, such as analyzing customers, competitors, conduct market research, identify industry trends, create personas and using google analytics.
VARIETY of skills - easy integration
Sight Candy offers a large skill set so its easy to integrate or merge elements from one project into another. This allows for quick, seamless integrations from digital to print and more, for the ultimate highest quality deliverables quickly.
Flexible schedule
Need a quick last minute detail change done before you go to the printer but it's after 5pm? I am often available during off hours, nights & weekends for quick changes if your event time changes, . If you have an extra important project and need a specialty on-call designer for a small length of time for an event or floating deadline, you've come to the right place. For instance if your company operations mainly take place at night, or your developments come from opposite time zones, we can offer a period of time to shift to your schedule on a per project basis for an extra fee.
Project Based or Ongoing
You can choose to work with us on a per project basis, like a one time logo, or an ongoing basis such as a batch of t-shirt designs once a month or even website maintenance. We do a variety of work ranging from small and simple to large and complex.
Your Personal Designer
Communication is always key to maximize your ROI of your design project. With Sight Candy, we give you progress shots and options AS WE GO, so that you can guide us into exactly what you want to see, without wasting your time on designs that you dont. You can talk on the phone, send photos, texts, and updates faster than any other method and approve your designs easily on the go and offer feedback quickly without going through a corporate office email or app. Skip the vague strangers with restricted website messaging that only increase time wasting, spending extra money on revisions due to limited communication, and uncertainty what your final design will be. Sight Candy keeps out clients in the loop and offers the ability to detail your final desired outcome.
Direct Hire
Another benefit of hiring Sight Candy Studio directly, is that you won’t pay a “finders fee” or percentage like online platforms, or commissions or retainers and extra fees like you would at an advertising or staffing agency.
