WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
When I started my business is 2012, I was referred to Laura by a friend. Laura took time to discuss my business’ objectives so that we would have a logo that fit our vision of what our company represents. While we had some initial ideas, Laura came back with a beautiful logo that only required a few minor tweaks. She was very accommodating, listened to our ideas, and ultimately turned it into exactly what we were looking for. Laura was fast, efficient, a great collaborator and a pleasure to work with. She’s our go-to gal!
Laura Sage was a godsend for a difficult promotional design project. She truly listened to what I was looking for, what I needed the design to express, and my printing limitations. She took what was in my imagination and was able to organize and develop it into a cohesive and effective layout. Laura’s work is professional and she brings the technical knowledge that can take a so-so idea and make it great.
Laura is one of the most talented graphic artists I have had the pleasure to work with. Within a day, she created the logo for my photography company without any influence from me. From concept to finished design, she made it happen and I am thrilled with the results. I use this logo on all of my artwork and company branding. Thank you Laura, you are the best…
Laura gives the kind of personal attention and time to each project that you usually just dream of with other designers. She works diligently to combine my vision with the practicalities of whatever medium we’re working in at the time, whether it be print design, website development, or online marketing pieces. She ensures that the elements for each production create a cohesive whole in order to establish consistent branding for each show we do.

Laura created the loveliest, most-personalized logo upon request. She continued to work on it with specifications and requested changes until I was completely satisfied. Lovely work and insight and sensitivity to the culture, art and persons being represented. Thank you, Laura!

Laura is absolutely AMAZING! Her work is top notch and her professionalism is above and beyond others in her field. But what’s best about Laura is the dedication to mastering each client’s vision and specific look. When I need design work of any kind, thePixelPixie is my go-to source for quality, affordability, and creativity.

Laura worked tirelessly to provide a multitude of logo designs for our school. Each was unique and varied and reflected her creativity and attention to detail. She incorporated all of the aspects we requested and offered valuable feedback that brought fantastic results.

Laura Sage’s services have proven of value to me on several occasions. She has provided me with the best design and creative service in a timely and very professional manner. Good design and creativity is of the utmost value for my business and I would not choose anyone else. I look forward to using her services again in the near future.

It has been a complete pleasure working with Laura. Laura’s keen ear, attention to all our needs and details has made the creation of our website seamless. She was super responsive and understood our wants perfectly. We will surely call on Laura again for any other website needs and share her information along.
Laura comes up with imaginative yet practical solutions to a wide range of design challenges. She is cooperative and responsive to a client’s needs and deadlines. And her work is beautiful.
Laura is a pleasure to work with. She worked and reworked logo designs for me just to make sure I was happy with my branding. You work with her one on one and have the unique opportunity to create a personalized relationship. Laura learns what her clients like and what they don’t like and then she turns your preferences into something amazing.
Working with Laura is a true pleasure! Not only does she really know her stuff but she’s also constantly working to make sure that you’re happy with her work. I’d highly recommend her!

Take a look at some recent projects thePixelPixie has done, some as a freelancer for other design shops/agencies, such as Brotsky, LLC, Cadre OmniMedia, and Ccharacter.com, others under my old business name of YourBusyBee, and of course PixelPixie clients.
Every so often I run across a page or site that's really useful. Many I simply bookmark. But some I consider to be so useful that they warrant being listed here. This list will be...

To me, something is only pixel perfect if it serves a purpose and solves a problem.

Nice to meet you! I’m Laura Sage, and I am ThePixelPixie
I’ve been designing websites, logos, and print materials, since the mid-1990s, and spent nearly 20 years as a top-level administrative assistant mainly in the high-tech manufacturing and aerospace industries. So I bring a good number of years of experience to the table in order to support your business needs.
When you hire ThePixelPixie, you’re hiring someone who specializes in working with the small business owner, and someone who has worked extensively in the non-profit performing arts sector, as well as with Fortune500 companies such as Disney, AT&T, DishNetwork, and American Express.
Whether you need a new website designed or maintained, an old website that needs to be updated, have fliers or programs to be designed and printed, CD packaging that needs just that special touch, or forms that need to be created, ThePixelPixie knows what needs to be done and how to do it right!
Let’s Get Personal
(since I believe in getting to know my clients and I hope they get to know me as well)
I’m a work-at-home mom with two teenagers;
I’m pursuing degrees in Arts Management, Computer Science, and Digital Design (even though I already have years of experience doing all 3);
For 12 years I ran the Lyric Opera of Los Angeles which specialized in producing lesser-known operatic works. I recently founded Scenic City Opera in Chattanooga, TN with the same general mission;
I have ridden my bicycle in AIDS LifeCycle several times. ALC is a 545-mile charity bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
I recently moved back to Chattanooga, TN from Los Angeles, CA.
I completed my first triathlon ever in May, 2016 – the Half Ironman (yeah, I don’t do things by half measure. No working up through shorter distances for me. I just jump right in all the way! LOL).
So I manage to keep myself pretty busy.
I have worked as a Disney Store designer, working on tech outlines and drawings for costumes. I have also worked for high tech engineering firms such as 3D Systems, in the environmental engineering field (A.E. Schmidt Environmental and Gateway Science & Engineering), and in the aerospace industry (LORAL Electro-Optical Systems). Additionally I’ve done client work for such firms as American Express, Group Health, AT&T, and 211la.org. My techy background began very early on in the earliest days of the PC, having started out on an Apple IIe.
Music has been a big part of my life since I was born. My dad is a concert pianist, conductor, and newly-retired professor of piano and music history. My mother has a Masters in Vocal Performance, my aunts have held long-standing positions with both the Miami Opera Chorus and the Maggio Musicale in Florence, Italy. And my brother is one of the most sought-after violists in the Los Angeles area. For my part, I began studying violin at the age of 4 and have been a professional violinist for almost as long as I can remember. In college I switched my main musical focus to voice and opera, but being back in the Chattanooga area means that I have more gigs as a violinist as both an independent contractor, and as a sub in the Chattanooga Symphony. I play for a lot of musical theatre productions these days.
The creative side of things comes very naturally to me. I enjoy the process, and I enjoy seeing the finished product “out in the world”.
Although my teenagers live in Los Angeles, I have a full house of fur-babies: 4 cats (Purrceus Q. Cat, Lucifur, Clawed Debussy, & Abbey Normal), and 2 dogs (Ophelia & Lebowski). I credit these sweet creatures with keeping me relatively sane and we all anxiously await each visit from the teenagers.
I look forward to meeting you and discussing how we can work together.
