Sarah Tomasso has always enjoyed creating new things and coming up with efficient solutions; choosing a path of design has consistently ignited that passion.

Sarah grew up in Rhode Island, embracing the ocean state life. After graduating from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with a BFA in Graphic Design and a minor in Marketing, Sarah returned to Rhode Island.

She landed a full-time job working for one of Providence's most forward thinking start-ups, but the desire to independently create was still very alive. She learned how to laser-cut at a community makers space downtown, AS220, allowing her to turn her designs into physical reality. The possibilities were endless and a whole new path was opening.

In 2014, Sarah started Artefacts Collection- an online shop showcasing handmade jewelry and home-ware from artisans around the world, as well as her own designs, made in Providence, RI.

Now, Sarah continues to work with the laser-cutter in more ways than ever. As a full-time designer, she balances freelance projects, laser-cutting, and managing Artefacts Collection including a Rhody goods homeware line. In 2016, Sarah started Lzrbeams, a design service geared specifically for other shop owners. Using her first-hand shop owning experience combined with her design skills, Sarah creates branded packaging and displays with an eco-focus for small businesses.

Sarah’s free time is most enjoyed when taking in natural beauty - in the garden, on a trail, or by the water. She has a passion for herbalism and loves preparing meals with locally grown or foraged ingredients. Perhaps it’s because she’s a libra, but balance is at the core of her life. Continually driven to squeeze the most out of life, while making room to “stop and smell the roses”. Travel hungry, Earth lover and ever curious designer- Sarah Tomasso.
