Well hello there! Welcome to Squish Design Co., a creative marketing agency run by me, Sarah Bakhtiari. As someone who breathes marketing, I believe in branding that stands out, copywriting that isn't boring, photography that speaks a thousand words and everything in between. 

(And no, ChatGPT did not write this.)

Here's a little bit about me: I'm a digital creative with more than 15 years of experience in the marketing and journalism fields. With a strong communications and visual design background, I have developed effective branding and built user-centered websites for dozens of companies. A self-motivated and innovative thinker, I am passionate about providing the best user experience across all mediums. I have the ability to captivate an audience through visuals and writing, grow website traffic and attract prospective leads digitally and in-person.​

Before Squish Design Co., my background consists of running the in-house design team at RangeWater Real Estate, a multifamily developer and management company that has had more than 700 apartment and build-to-rent communities across the Sun Belt in their portfolio. For a decade, I created brands and websites for in-house development and third-party clients. Before RangeWater, I started my professional career in journalism, where I worked for a number of Atlanta-area news publications, including AOL Patch as Local Editor and the Fulton County Daily Report as Copy Editor.​

Outside of the professional realm, I am a certified yoga instructor with a passion for stretching and breathing. You also can catch me spending time with family and friends, going to concerts and vacationing around the world.
