Sara Griffin is a communications, creative, and business strategist
working across the cultural sector, specializing in design, art, and architecture. She has more than a decade of experience launching and cultivating programs for cultural organizations, businesses, products, and exhibitions worldwide.
Her specialty lies not only in guiding media relations, but in crafting creative strategies while forging leadership and board alignment around core values and working closely with clients to design programming and initiatives that work toward their chief aims.

Prior to her work as a consultant for Resnicow, Sara was an associate at Sean Kelly Gallery working closely with the gallery’s roster of internationally-recognized contemporary artists and assisting in organizing several group exhibitions. Early in her career, she worked in artist Kehinde Wiley’s studio, was a gallery manager for Tillou Fine Art, and interned for the Museum of Modern Art.
