About

Hi, I’m Sara Lorien Smith, the designer, marketer, and creative problem-solver behind Harbor Reach. With a background in web and user experience design, marketing, and arts and crafts, I’ve spent years helping small businesses and non-profits elevate their online presence.

I believe your website should be more than just a pretty face; it should be a hard-working tool that saves you time, grows your audience, and drives sales. I work with entrepreneurs and organizational leaders who value thoughtful design and are ready to turn their websites into an asset that works as hard as they do.

When I’m not designing websites, you’ll find me teaching arts and crafts workshops, designing DIY kits, or organizing community craft fairs in the Pacific Northwest. My mission is to combine creativity with strategy to help your business shine.

Let’s create something amazing together. Contact Me

Sara went beyond my expectations in designing and implementing my website design requests for a content-heavy website. First, and importantly, she listened to my vision and ideas and then worked independently on several possible options for graphic and organizational design. Next, she met with me and I selected a design that went way beyond what I had expected and she gently made suggestions about other features that would enhance my site. She was easy to work with, is reasonable in her fees, and she has continued to provide technical support with additions, alterations, and upgrades to my website. I am very happy with my final product and the professional service she has provided!

I have worked with Sara on two web development projects and I plan to hire her again. She has excellent creative design skills and technical expertise—and she designs for the optimum user experience so the site not only looks good but functions well.

Sara at Sara Lorien Design is a pleasure to work with, very direct and professional. I had a long list of website development projects and she was able to break down and itemize the tasks so I could prioritize and stay with in my budget. Sara's original estimate was super clear and "Phase 1" of the project is done and on target! Sara included user trainings as part of the contract agreement and this has been so helpful. I have the knowledge and understanding necessary to feel competent and self sufficient in managing my website. Thank you so much Sara, I look forward to working with you in the near future!

Sara is a competent, professional web designer with a vast level of expertise and knowledge. With her background and experience, she is able to really look at what you need and will need in your business and build that into the website you have or the one that she helps you create.

Sara helped me re-design my website so that it fits my business better and so it has a clean, updated, professional look. She also included training time so that now I can easily maintain and make most changes to the site as the information shifts. I highly recommend Sara Lorien Design and Sara’s professional services!”
