HI. MY NAME IS SAGE. I LOVE TO WRITE. RAGE. REPEAT.
A SHORT STORY ABOUT ME
A fascination with Dookie by Green Day is where my life began (as far as I remember). It was one of the first CDs my dad handed me as a child (along with Queen, Chumbawamba, and The Barenaked Ladies). Since then, I’ve been raging against the machine and blackening my eyes.
As for writing, well, that’s a different story. I always had a passion for writing and visual art, so I graduated High School ready to pursue a career in graphic design.
That all changed when I discovered the Advertising major at SCAD. Emily Sander and Luke Sullivan, among other advertising professionals, opened my eyes to strategy and bigger thinking of the industry as a whole. During those years, I rediscovered my passion for writing and producing creative ideas from start to finish.
So here I am, rollerblading, eating tacos, rocking out, and creating spicy content that leaves you wanting more. Some people call it "storytelling” — I just call it "good writing”.
