Sarah Kleist isn’t your typical web designer. A performing artist by trade, Sarah’s world came to a halt when Covid-19 stopped all live events and shut down New York City. With time on her hands and a skill for design, Sarah took to designing websites for some friends and ultimately, turned this skill into a full blown freelance business. 

Her story includes stumbling into success on TikTok, building a business in web design through the pandemic, and finding funny connections via social media — including a weird serendipitous encounter to how we met.

We get into some conversations about the weird relevancy of social media algorithms, parents exploiting their children for clout online, and how she landed an interview with the DuoLingo Owl (who, if you aren’t familiar with, check them out on TikTok ASAP)
