My name is Sara Allan, and this is the story of my journey through life, marked by moments of joy, creativity, and artistic expression.
I was born in Amman, Jordan, on the 5th of May. My multicultural heritage—having a Chinese mother and a Palestinian father—greatly influenced my upbringing. My family has always been deeply connected to the arts, with both of my parents sharing a passion for music and art. My grandfather, an esteemed oil paint professor, instilled in us a love for artistic expression, a legacy carried on by my two older sisters who are both accomplished artists.
Following in my family's creative footsteps, I majored in computer graphics and animation, blending traditional artistic skills with modern technology. My career as a visual artist has been diverse and fulfilling. I've worked on motion graphic videos, animations, poster designs, murals, and even as a DJ. Each of these roles allowed me to explore different facets of visual storytelling and artistic expression.
One of my proudest achievements is the creation of my own brand, WildCard. Through WildCard, I produce handmade products that reflect my unique artistic vision. This venture has allowed me to merge my love for art and design with entrepreneurship, offering one-of-a-kind items to a wider audience.
Looking back, I realize that my journey has been shaped by a blend of cultural influences, a strong artistic heritage, and a passion for innovation. From my family’s artistic roots to my own diverse career, each experience has contributed to my growth as an artist and individual. My story is a testament to the power of creativity and the enduring impact of family and heritage on one’s path in life.
