Sarah Jane Dunaway

You can call me Sarah Jane. Or Sarah. Or SJ. Or Hey You.

I am a copywriter and creative director.

I am currently a graduate student at Harvard University, pursuing a Master’s degree in Journalism. I also serve as Creative Director for SJ + CO, a design consultancy firm I founded in 2014. I hold a B.A. in Advertising Communications from the University of Alabama.

After college, I spent five years in Seattle, Washington working in the paper and printing industry before returning to the east coast and continuing my focus on communications and advertising, spanning a career in graphic design, copywriting and brand strategy.

Alongside my communications profession, I regularly exhibit with the Maryland Federation of Arts and the Arts Council of Annapolis, and have received several awards and recognition for photography and graphic design from Communications Arts Magazine, Neenah Paper, the American Institute of Graphic Arts, and Graphic Design: USA Magazine.

I recently returned from a photography assignment in Mbarara, Uganda and am currently living abroad in Amman, Jordan where I focus on covering the refugee crisis in the Middle East as a freelance journalist and graduate student.

I enjoy pitching sitcom pilots, running, arguing with my 7-year old daughter and discussing politics with my husband. My home is based in Washington, DC.
