Editorial Design Director

Sarah Bennett

12 years art-directing editorial websites for publications, agencies, and content-led brands. Believes the design system is the product — not the deck.

Sarah Bennett leads editorial design at Haxtiv. Her practice covers typographic systems, grid, motion, photography direction, and the brand-aware components that make a site feel built — not assembled. Twelve years across print, digital editorial, and brand work for media houses, fashion clients, and B2B publications give her the instincts for when a layout needs restraint and when it needs a swing. She writes about the part of design most agencies skip: the empty states, the long forms, the unloved 404 pages where craft either shows up or does not.
