IonQ is the world’s best commercial quantum computing company. As the company goes public for the first time, I helped tell the story of their ground-breaking technology via animation, illustration, and web design. These technical illustrations integrate the science with an artistic sense of wonder, so that the technology feels vibrant, smart and joyful.

As a designer, storyteller, and researcher, Sarah specializes in dark narratives and contemporary fable. An Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Indiana University in Bloomington, her work experiments with eclectic media—allowing diverse processes in printmaking, animation, and early photographic methods inform her design practice. She has two other degrees in English Literature and Painting from the University of Maryland, has taught design at the University of Notre Dame and Missouri University of Science & Technology, and continues to balance an active studio practice with research.
