Sara Webb
Owner, Creative Director
Great to meet you! And thanks for seeking us out.
My name is Sara and I’m the Owner and Creative Director of The Template Shop. Some of you may know me via my brand and full service creative design studio, Sara Webb Design.
I’ve worked in the design industry my whole career. Starting out in Australia, I freelanced for a number of creative agencies in Melbourne for both the corporate and retail sector, before deciding I preferred the brand focus and autonomy of working in-house, direct to client.
I forged a path into corporate design and spent ten years heading up various in-house studios, immersed in rolling out rebrands and providing art direction across core collateral, marketing campaigns, print production and digital projects.
When family took precedence I stepped back from corporate roles and set up a freelance studio, where I enjoyed a variety of projects before making the decision to move back to New Zealand.
Back in Auckland I took on a Lead Design role for a Conference, Expos and Events group, firing out new brand identities like sugar-pops for their 50+ events held nationwide each year. Some of those events repeated annually and as such, their visual direction required careful evolution to uphold industry leadership year upon year.
It was a fast-paced role that I enjoyed for five years, after which time I decided to embrace a freelance lifestyle again and reestablish my creative studio, specialising in brand design and corporate documents.
While operating under Sara Webb Design I spent three years working alongside a kick-ass PR & Marketing Agency, designing rebrands and collateral for their tech-savvy clients. At that time I noticed an increasing number of clients reaching out for everyday, user-friendly templates to enable them to be more autonomous in their operations.
Going to a creative agency for a logo identity and guidance on brand fonts was one thing. But armed with a new logo kit and ‘how to’ style guide, clients found when left to their own devices, the challenge to make an important pitch look a million bucks under deadline was real; not to mention achieve consistency across the organisation where each department generated their own version of corporate documents.
Sure, you can hop on to Canva to grab a ready-made template, but why risk putting forth a high-level pitch using a design that your competitors have access to? And yes, Microsoft includes templates in their toolkit too, but it was a specific call I was hearing: 'For bespoke templates to be customised to specific in-house requirements, be flawlessly ‘on brand’ - and the loudest call of all - they must be ‘easy to use’.
And so, with this drive from new and existing clients for customised templates, together with specialist brand experience, there seemed only one thing to do.
