About the Artist

Sarah Hughes is an illustrator and designer based in Savannah, Georgia, and the creative force behind El Roi Design and Illustration. She holds a BFA in Illustration (2025) and specializes in publication and product design, with a focus on storytelling that is both grounded and imaginative.

Influenced by nature, mythology, and the depth of the human spirit, Sarah’s work often leans into realism while remaining versatile across styles and formats. As an only child, she found a deep connection to drawing early in life - a practice that has grown into a meaningful way of exploring the world and communicating with others.

Whether she's crafting thoughtful visual narratives or designing for real-world products, Sarah’s work is rooted in curiosity, empathy, and a love for the outdoors. When not creating, she enjoys traveling, spending time in nature, and hanging out with her cat.
