Hi. I’m Sarah Brin. I specialize in building and leading teams that bring unprecedented creative technology experiences to life. I’m from Southern California, and I live in London with my big dog, Svenska. I’m working on some freelance projects while I look for my next full-time role.
I have a hybrid background that spans sectors, including Fortune 500 tech companies, governments, games/entertainment studios, the metaverse, arts/cultural organizations, and academia.
When you specialize in innovation with new technologies, businesses and disciplines, sometimes it can be hard for other people to understand what you do. Here are some job titles and projects I often use to define my practice:
Business Development and Strategic Partnerships: I’m a connector, and I love finding and developing new partnerships that connect audiences with mind-blowing technology and brands. I’ve developed and contributed to joint-ventures and partnerships with brands like Sony, BAFTA, Microsoft, BBC, Aardman Animation, Sony PlayStation, Planet Labs, SFMOMA, Google, and lots more.
Exec/Sr. Producer/Programme Manager: I’ve worked as a Senior Producer and Programme Manager for organisations including Sony Interactive Entertainment, Rolls Royce, Autodesk, Meow Wolf, the European Union and many others. I specialize in agile/scrum development processes for web, digital games, AR/VR/XR, mobile, digital fabrication, immersive installations, and live events. I’ve received the Creative Producers International, Red Dot, and International Game Developers Association awards for my production work, too.
Public Speaker and Coach: I’ve had the privilege of speaking about design, creativity, and metaverse leadership at venues worldwide, including SXSW, Eyeo, the Game Developers Conference, British Council Japan, Playable City, and many others.
I’ve taught undergraduate and graduate design courses at IT University Copenhagen, and I’ve guest lectured at international universities including the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, the University of Southern California, Falmouth University, Ringling School of Art and Design, and loads more.
What do all these roles have in common? The future, sustainability, and organizational change. I’m excited about developing new and equitable systems for creating groundbreaking creative technology projects, and translating that to fiscal growth. Generally, I find myself working with organizations who are in periods of transformation, starting new initiatives, or looking to scale in new ways.
