Read on to know as Sara spills the beans on her creative journey, the chaos of mixing GIFs, and the love-hate relationship she has with her own masterpieces.
Q. How long have you been PSing, and how did you get started with making creations?
Sara: Making creations for the past three years, started randomly when 'Channa Mereya' was airing in the last two months.
Ah, the perfect storm of creativity and Indian TV shows!
Q. Was there any initial challenge? If so, how did you overcome it?
Sara: Trying to mix GIFs from all over the place gave me a headache at first. Turns out, mixing chaos and creativity is my kind of therapy 😂.
True! Who needs a therapist when you can have GIFs by side humming colors?
Q. What inspires you to create these beautiful stuff?
Sara: Oh, you're too kind! I guess I get inspired just by the challenges it gives me. I need something to keep me busy and keep the brain on its toes 😅.
Keeping the brain on its toes – that’s the secret to creating masterpieces!
Q. Which of your artworks are you most proud of?
Sara: Tbh, I'm one of those who have a love-hate relationship with my creations. When I watch them after some time, I'm like, "It could have been better!" 😂. This is going to be one of my most challenging because it's like cramming 20 videos into one GIF.
Woah! Cramming 20 videos into one GIF? That's not art; that's a marathon! It’s so pretty!
Q. Have you ever had artist's block? If yes, describe how you overcame it.
Sara: I usually can't create stuff if I don't like the show or couple, unless it's a request from someone with a specific video they want me to make.
It's like having a creative GPS! Your ability of turning a challenge thrown by a request into a source of inspiration showcases your true creative spirit.
Q. What useful hack or trick has really benefited you?
Sara: Don't quit! Keep mixing stuff, even if your first tries look like a GIF gone wrong. Remember, Rome wasn't GIF-ed in a day! 😂.
Words of wisdom: If at first, your GIF looks like a disaster, just remember, Rome had its bad GIF days too!
Q. Are there some trendy styles you dislike?
Sara: I actually don't dislike any of the styles because it all depends on your coloring and placement at the end of the day. So, even if it's not the best style, it can look better with a little bit of editing here and there.
Wow, nice perspective. Style problems, solved!
Q. What areas would you love to explore more?
Sara: I thought about trying my hand at banners, but either I'm terrible at them or I run out of patience real quick.
We hope you take some time to explore these unfamiliar frontiers too. We are sure it would be a visual treat for all of us.
Q. Any creator whose work you really admire?
Sara: I was totally into a bunch, especially during the 'IPKKND' era. Lots of those talented folks have left IF now. The golden age of creativity, gone but not forgotten! 🌟.
Ah, the golden age of creativity – a time when IF buzzed with creators, and creativity flowed like a river!
Q. One advice for the newbie graphicers.
Sara: Don't give up, just try, try & TRY.
Because let's face it, trying is half the battle, and the other half is just trying some more!
Q. If you could instantly master a skill, what would it be and why?
Better to dance.
Q. One book or movie or series that you can read or watch for the rest of your life?
Love Khaled Hosseini books & IPKKND is going to one of my most fav on itv.
Q. What is your go-to comfort food or snack?
I love crisps.
Q. Three things an artist should always have.
Brain, charisma, courage.
Q. If you could have dinner with any celebrity, who would it be and why?
I'm actually past that era 😂 I want to eat dinner with someone I know in comfortable circumstances 🤣
That was an interesting rapid fire and lovely interview, Sara!
Thank you for interviewing with us!
Also true, every artist needs the brainpower to create, charisma to charm, and courage to face the critics! 😂
And with this, we leave you with a glimpse of Sara's world where Photoshop and chaos go hand in hand. Aspiring graphicers, take note – Rome wasn't GIF-ed in a day, so keep mixing, keep trying, and most importantly, keep laughing! 😂✨
That’s all from our side.
If you want to ask more questions or grill Sara, now is your time. Over to you all!

You make some of the best GIFs on IF currently. Also, will never forget the fun we had on CM forum.
❤️ I hope we find something equally good. Looking forward to Wahi & Winget show
