Hello, I’m Sara Khoo…
…and it's nice to meet you (yes, that rhymes)! I'm a self-taught product designer based in Toronto, currently crafting visual analytics tools at Deloitte through psychology, storytelling, and an endless curiosity about people.
My love for design started early. Growing up, I was always making something, from crafts and doodles to video edits and animations. I've always loved creating things that spark joy and tell a story. That creative spark led me to graphic design, and even teaching a comm tech class to youth, where I got to share that joy with others.
In university, I discovered UI/UX design, and everything clicked. It brought together all my favourite things: psychology, storytelling and creative problem solving. With a background in consumer behaviour, I'm fascinated by what makes people tick, and how thoughtful design experiences can make complex things feel simple, human, and joyful. Since then, I've worked with clients across industries such as public sector, healthcare, energy, and finance, helping turn messy data into tools people actually enjoy using.
Outside of work, you'll find me exploring new food spots, sweating through HIIT class, playing video games, or bingeing true crime docs.
With love,
Sara Khoo
